Non-Permeable Egg Experiment

Decent Essays
Due to the time restriction,the experiment only once. To make the experiment highly accurate, it should be performed it at least three times, with all the precise measurement of the materials needed, to avoid any kind of error. The control variable would be the solutions; corn syrup and distilled water. The mass of the egg would be tested throughout the experiment.

Before placing the egg into the solutions, weigh the mass. After you have the mass recorded, place the eggs into different beakers that each has 150 ml of vinegar filled into it for around two days to remove the non-permeable egg shell.

After two days, take out the eggs from the vinegar, rinse it carefully and record the mass again. After you have done that, have two new beakers

    The purpose of this experiment is to determine the pH of known substances by use of a pH color indicator of red cabbage and the use of a pH meter. As well as, to observe the pH changes in a substance by adding in more basic of acidic to buffered solutions and unbuffered solutions. This experiment will also will show how to calculate H3O+, OH- and pH by use of known values. In order to do this lab, there are a few key components one needs to know and understand first.…

    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.…

    Maple Syrup n’ Water Reactions Lab In the egg osmosis lab, we set out to see the reactions that the egg had when placed in maple syrup or placed in distilled/pure water. Osmosis is when a solution attempts to bring itself to equilibrium by moving from a high concentration area to an area of low concentration, and in this lab; the egg attempted to bring itself to an area of low concentration. Secondly, hypotonic is an area of a solution that has low concentration, in contraire; hypertonic is an area of high concentration, in this lab the distilled water was hypotonic and the maple syrup was hypertonic. The distilled water was hypotonic because it allowed the liquid from the egg to move to it and the maple syrup was hypertonic because the egg…

    After soaking the egg in vinegar for a day to remove the shell and not the membrane, I placed the egg in Karo corn syrup because it has a high concentration of dissolved sugar. Although the sugar molecules were too large to pass through the semipermeable membrane of the egg, water molecules were able to exit the egg. After twenty-four hours, the egg had decreased from a mass of 84.1 grams to 47.0 grams due to osmosis. The corn syrup is hypertonic in comparison to the egg and thus the water moved from a high concentration of water in the egg to a lower concentration of water in the syrup in order to reach equilibrium. Subsequently, the corn syrup was diluted in water in order to have an equal concentration of water in the syrup and in the egg itself.…

    Physics Egg Drop Project

    • 634 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The egg drop project we did involved many physics principles. One of them was air resistance, which happened because the egg dropped and it accelerated, while the velocity increased. Then the resistance of the air to the egg box motion also increased, which means the upward force of air resistance balances the downward force of gravity, so the egg box dropped at a constant speed. We attached balloons to the box we made in order for the box to pass through the air while softly landing. We believe that by attaching the balloons it would have less air resistance so the box will fall quickly.…

    Next measure 120 millimeters of water in a beaker three times and pour it into three cups (make sure to number cups). Next put one quarter teaspoon of vinegar in cup 1, one half teaspoon of vinegar in cup 2, and one whole teaspoon of vinegar in cup 3. Next place each shell in a different cup take plastic wrap, put it over the beaker and a rubber band to make sure it stays on. After a week take out the shells dry them and take the mass again and record it, make a line graph to see the initial and final weight. Your independent variable should be the concentration of acid the dependant variable should be how the shell desolves and gets…

    Data Analysis The scientific question for this experiment is:” Does the amount of baking soda added to vinegar affect the amount of CO2 produced?” “If more baking soda is added to 50mL of vinegar, then more CO2 gas will be produced,” was the hypothesis. The independent variable was the different amounts of baking soda. Therefore, the dependent variable was the amount of CO2 produced.…

    The Thermodynamics of Potassium Nitrate Dissolving in Water Introduction: This experiment focuses on thermodynamics or the study of heat and molecular randomness. It helps illustrate how and why potassium nitrate (KNO3) dissolves in water. When it dissolves, it dissociates into potassium (K+) and nitrate (NO3-) ions. These ions can also recombine into solid potassium nitrate. This reaction can reach a state where concentrations of ions remain constant or Ksp; which stands for the equilibrium concentration for the solubility product.…
