2)Take measurements of its mass and circumference. Record your information in a data table.
3)Use a graduated cylinder to measure 400mL of vinegar. Pour the vinegar into your cup.
4)Place the raw egg into the cup with vinegar. It should be covered.
5) Leave the egg undisturbed for 24 hours.
6)Hypothesize what you think will happen to the size/appearance of the egg after 24hrs.

11)Pour the solution in the beaker into the cup.
12)Carefully place your egg in the cup and allow it to sit for 24 hours.
13)Hypothesize what you think will happen to the size of the egg.

Day 3:
1)Carefully remove the egg from the cup and place it in the weigh boat tray.
2)Pour the liquid down sink and clean out beaker with soap and water.
3) Observe the appearance of the egg and record observations in a data table as after egg was placed in syrup.
4)Measure the mass of the egg in grams. Record this number in a data table.
4)Using a piece of string and a ruler, measure the circumference of the egg. Record this number in a data table.
5)Measure 400mL of water with a graduated cylinder.
6)Add it to your cup.
7)Carefully place your egg in the cup and allow it to sit for 24 hours.
7)Hypothesize what you think will happen to the size of the egg and record in a data table.

Hypothesis Vinegar- If an egg is placed in vinegar, then the mass of the egg will increase because the shell will soften.

Syrup- If the egg is placed in syrup, then the mass will restore to normal because the syrup is thick and it will push the particles

    In this experiment I attempted to created and study the affects of a egg in a hypertonic and hypotonic solution. To conduct this experiment I used the following materials: cups, eggs, vinegar, corn syrup, spoons and food coloring. To begin the experiment I placed three eggs in vinegar to dissolve their shells, leaving behind a thin membrane that allowed water to pass in and out of the eggs. The water molecules enter inside the eggs and the eggs begins to swell. Once the eggs have sat in the vinegar for two days I removed one from the vinegar, washed the eggs and placed it in the corn syrup.…

    Then, the egg was removed from its solution, rinsed in tap water, and placed in a glass. Once in the glass dish, the dish was placed on a triple beam balance, and the final mass was measured and recorded. 29 Minutes after being submerged in tap water, observations pertaining to egg A (the egg submerged in tap water) were recorded, and the egg was removed from its solution, and placed in a glass dish, to be placed on the triple-beam balance. Once on the triple-beam balance, the final mass of egg A was measured and recorded. 28 Minutes after being covered in saltwater, observations of egg C (the egg submerged in saltwater) were made and recorded.…

    This was the most limiting because if the container was bigger, the egg would have a lesser chance of breaking or cracking. The most effective part of my design was the bubble wrap. It protected the egg as best as it could. I chose this part because bubble wrap is numerous small air cushions designed to protect fragile goods. If I were to take this challenge again, I would add more bubble wrap.…

    This experiment was centered on diffusion and osmosis. In order to see diffusion and osmosis in action it was required to test three different solutions on an egg: one with sugar, another with vinegar, and the last one with regular water. This would demonstrate certain interactions, and movements of the water; making the different concentrations of water visible. As stated there will be three solutions, this will help answer the question of how each type of solution will individually affect the egg when left intact overnight. This will classify each solution into a hypertonic, hypotonic, or an isotonic solution.…

    Calculating the Enthalpy Change of Combustion of Five Different Alcohol Fuels Including Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol, Butanol and Pentanol by Heating and Measuring the Change in Temperature of Water using a Temperature Probe Introduction: The enthalpy change of combustion can be calculated using the formula △H = MC△T, where △H is the enthalpy change in kJ mol-1, M is the mass in kilograms, C is the specific heat capacity in kilojoules, and △T is the temperature change in kelvins. In this experiment, I will be investigating the enthalpy change of combustion after heating five different alcohol fuels for five minutes, including methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and pentanol, by measuring the heat energy transferred to the water using a…
