8. A classic example of osmosis in the classroom involves placing an egg in water or syrup. The egg first sits in vinegar until the shell is dissolved. Then, it is placed in a glass of either tap water or syrup. The mass of the egg is measured. The results are in the chart below. Use what you know about osmosis to explain why the egg increased in mass in the distilled water but decreased in mass in the corn syrup.

Answer:

I think the answer is because the water goes in the egg but the maple syrup doesn't.

The egg increased in mass in the distilled water but decreased in mass in the corn syrup because water moves into the egg cell in distilled water but moves out in the corn syrup.

OSMOSIS:

  • Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration via a semipermeable membrane.

  • According to this question, egg was placed in distilled water and syrup. According to the table, the egg increased in mass in the distilled water but decreased in mass in the corn syrup.

  • This occured because water moved into the egg when placed in distilled water (higher concentration) but moved out of the egg cell when placed in corn syrup (lower concentration).
