Vinegar Egg Lab
When the experiment was finalized the vinegar solution enlarged the eggs mass. Before the vinegar solution it was 55.1 grams and after the solution it was 67.9 grams. The volume of the egg was also increased. At the beginning it was 50 mL after the solution it was 60 mL; it had a 10 mL difference. It is visible that a hypotonic solution was present. This rejects the hypothesis made. When the egg was placed in 150 mL of vinegar and left intact overnight the egg did sink to the bottom and remain that way, however, the mass was increased instead of keeping it the same, by approximately 13 grams. Furthermore, the volume was also increased it did not remain the same. By analyzing the data it can be determined that the water had a larger concentration and did not have to balance out with the vinegar. The vinegar acted in a peculiar way although it eroded the shell and took some weight off the water flowed inside the egg due to the low concentration of the vinegar. …show more content…
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

    The last jar I filled halfway. One of the full jars I filled with 12 tablespoons of sea salt and mixed it. The other full jar I left with only clear tap water. The jar that was half full I mixed in six tablespoons of sea salt. I put an egg in each jar. After I put the egg in the jar that was half full, I filled the rest with clear tap water so that the bottom half was salt water and the top half was clear tap water. I Recorded the results of each jar and took a picture of each. The jar that was only water: the egg went straight to the bottom. The jar that was all salt water: the egg floated on the top. The jar that was half salt water, half tap water: the egg submerged but stayed perfectly between the salt and tap water. If I were to do this project again in the future, I would use multiple mixtures in the water and test which substances were the most dense. Some problems could be that the amount of salt and water can vary and the size and weight of the eggs can also vary. To fix these problems, I could use the same egg for all of the mixtures. I could also do exactly the same amount of water and substances put in the…

    If one places a 1.0 M solution of glucose inside a bag and then places that bag into a beaker containing a 1.0 M solution of sucrose, the percent of mass lost in the bag is 10.5%. The solution in the bag is hypertonic while the solution in the beaker is hypertonic, which is why water moves from the bag to the beaker and the bag loses mass.…

    Throughout the six days of recording data, osmosis did occur. We soaked our egg (Eggar) in “Super Chill Peach Sparkling Water.” Eggar gain weight as he grew larger. He soaked up the water when he was in the sparkling water, so he could have an equilibrium. He was squishy, smooth, and (slightly) transparent too. On the last day Eggar was soaked in water, and he then lost weight. When we took him out of the water we noticed we had an air bubble inside of him. The liquid started with a higher water content, then due to osmosis, they had an equilibrium. The reason he must have lost weight when in water is Eggar had a higher water…

    Eight8 g of sugar were placed on the scale, and then transferred into the volumetric flask (Table 8 shows the calculations of the molecular weight, moles, mass, volume and molarity recorded before doing so). Distilled water was added to the sugar until a total of 25mL were in the flask. Then the flask was capped, and the solution was mixed together until the sugar was dissolved. Once dissolved, the solution was transferred into the glass beaker, and certain aspects were measured and recorded in table 9. Once this step was complete, 2.5 mL were removed from the solution, and diluted in the volumetric flask. The steps were then repeated using different amounts of the diluted solution each time .…

    LITERATURE: The acids in the vinegar make the shell deteriorate. Eggs contain "calcium carbonate"(this is what makes it hard), and vinegar is an acid. When they both combine a chemical reaction takes place, and carbon dioxide is released. This is what bubbles are made of. The vinegar makes the egg soft because it takes all the carbon out. Since the egg shell is made out of "calcium carbonate" and is "eaten" up by the acidic vinegar. It leaves behind the inner membrane and gives it the rubbery effect.…
