    Egg Osmosis Lab The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate an example of a spontaneous reaction and its connection to metabolism; in this case it was osmosis. The procedures that we used to complete the experiment were taking five eggs that had been soaked in a sucrose solution and then placing each one in containers of sucrose that each had different levels of concentration. The mass of each egg was measured before being placed into the solutions and then every 10 minutes after until they had soaked

    Introduction This experiment was osmosis and diffusion. In this experiment I began by calculating the volume of a fresh chicken egg. Then to determine the effect of osmotic pressure change on a cell I soaked the raw chicken egg in vinegar for 24 hrs‚ and measured the volume of the egg after the shell had been dissolved by the vinegar. The egg was then submerged in corn syrup for 1-24 hrs‚ then measured and recorded the new egg volume. Finally the egg was submerged in water for 1-24hrs‚ again the

    Title: Egg Osmosis Purpose: The purpose for doing this lab is to show how Osmosis takes place. It is supposed to show how the eggs would react to a change in their environment. The way to show how it would change would be putting eggs in different controlled environments. Each of the eggs will be put in three different environments. Vinegar‚ Karo Syrup‚ and water. Each egg will have to have a documented reaction that each will have. Introduction: The lab will allow us to see and explain each
