In this section a hypertonic section was visible. At the end of the vinegar solution the mass ended up as 67.9 grams after the sugar solution it resulted as 42.8 grams. The volume of the egg was also changed before the sugar solution it was 60 mL after the solution it was 45 mL. The decrease in mass and volume signals that a hypertonic solution occurred. The hypothesis made that if an egg is placed in 150 mL of syrup it would decrease in mass and volume ended up being correct, however, the reasoning behind it was incorrect. The hypertonic solution must have of taken place because the sugar and the water had to balance out. The concentration of the syrup was far greater than that of the egg, meaning it had to balance it out. The job of the water was to equalize the concentration meaning the syrup invaded the water so it could be less concentrated. Rather than having it to deal with
