No. They dissolve eventually.
If you have already soaked it in tap or distilled water, It is very large. Soaking it in salt water will cause it to shrink because there is now a high percentage of water in it, And not a lot of salt. The salt from the water gets absorbed by the bear. Now, the water percentage has decreased, So it is not as large. However, the gummi bear will never change back into its origonal form. -Claire
The gummy bear would get smaller and shrink because the salt absorbs the water in the gummy bear
That sounds like an excellent science project question ... you should get a glass of salt water and put a gummy bear in it and see what happens!
Gummy bears get larger when put in fresh water, but not in salt water. It is due to the action of osmosis, which means that water from a region where it is more highly concentrated to an area where it is less concentrated through a semi-permeable membrane. This continues until the two sides of the membrane equalise - thus the gummy bear swells.
salt has certain chemicals that preserve. if you ever ate salt you would know how it shirks your lips. now the salt shrinks the gummy bear by preserving it. plain water on the other hand destroys the gummy bear because it kills and sucks every think out of the gummy bear making it slimy. no water does nothing at all.
well it doesn't matter all you have to do is just put one gummy bear in tap water and another gummy bear in salt water and leave it out until they grow bigger but don't eat them because all the bacteria will be in the gummy bears
Gummy bears and burned special salt
shrink in salt water. swell in fresh water.
In the gummy bear lab, the gummy bear soaked in salt water typically shrinks and becomes firmer. This reaction occurs due to osmosis, where water moves out of the bear into the saltier solution, causing the gummy bear to lose moisture and decrease in size. The salt in the water creates a hypertonic environment, pulling water molecules away from the gummy bear. As a result, the gummy bear's texture changes, and it appears smaller and denser.
When a gummy bear is placed in salt water, it decreases in size due to osmosis. The higher concentration of salt outside the gummy bear causes water inside the bear to move out into the saltwater solution to balance the concentration of solutes. This results in the gummy bear losing water, shrinking, and becoming firmer in texture.
the egg will shrink.
