Would an egg get bigger or smaller if it was submerged in food coloring?
No, the size would be unaffected by the coloring.
What effect does isotonic solution have on an egg?
Considering osmosis- If a hypertonic solution causes water molecules to leave an egg, and a hypotonic solution causes water molecules to enter a egg, an isotonic solution (where inside the egg and outside the egg the solute concentration is equal) water molecules would neither enter, nor leave a cell. I hope this helped :)
What will happen to decalcified eggs when placed into a hypertonic solution?
This is answered in dot point form because this is the best way to answer your questions in VCE biology -A decalcified egg that is placed in a hypertonic solution will mean that the solute concentration outside of the egg is higher than the solute concentration in the egg cells -This means that due to the solute not being able to move through the semi-permeable membrane, osmosis will take place -Water molecules will move out of the egg to equalize the concentration of the solute outside of the cells and the solute concentration within the cells -Therefore, this will cause a decrease in the mass of the decalcified egg (the more hypertonic a solution is that the decalcified egg is placed into, the greater the percentage of mass loss there will be due to the increase in osmosis) Hope this helped ^-^
What reaction happens when an egg is soaked in vinegar?
The eggs won't react, it is the vinegar that acts on the egg. The acid in the vinegar will corrode the calcium in the egg shell, causing the egg to become soft, like rubber.
What would occur if you put an egg in distilled water for 10 minutes then placed the same egg in a solution of 20 percent salt for 10 minutes?
An intact chicken egg? It will get wet...you are probably supposed to answer something to indicate you know that distilled water is hypotonic and the osmotic differential would cause water to move into the egg to dilute the greater concentration of solute inside and then state that 20% salt water is hypertonic and will cause water to move out of the egg...in that short of a period of time, you won't observe any water movement through the shell. Additionally, you might consider that, to get a 20% sodium chloride solution, you will have to heat the water to the point that it will cook the egg.
What is liquid egg?
Liquid eggs are egg whites with yellow food coloring.
Would an egg get bigger or smaller if it was submerged in food coloring?
No, the size would be unaffected by the coloring.
What makes food coloring stick to the egg shell of a hard boiled egg?
vinegar
What happens to an eggshell when you put it in soda vinegar and food coloring?
i think that when you put an egg shell in soda vinegar and food coloring it turns see through i think that when you put an egg shell in soda vinegar and food coloring it turns see through
What does orange pop do to an egg?
The orange pop is like a food coloring and the egg is orange like an Easter egg.
Will an egg float better in salt water than regular water?
Salt water. Salt water is very hypotonic and will force the egg to float. Regular water is hypertonic and force water in. Causing the egg to sink like the Titanic.
What conditions cause food coloring to form a compound on the surface of the egg?
Butts
What happens when we put an egg into food coloring?
The red dyes entered the egg through the tiny poles on the surface of the shells.
Which egg was in hypertonic solution?
Corn syrup
How do you mix the McCormick brand food coloring with vinegar?
It will be the same for just about all colorings, put about a teaspoon of vinegar in a cup ( two wont hurt ) add coloring to your desired shade and then hot ( not boiling ) water, enough to cover an egg.
Why does vinegar cause a hard-boiled egg to expand?
Diffusion between hypo/hypertonic substances across a semipermeable membrane. AKA: The water from the vinegar fills the egg
What is the isotonic solution of corn syrup to egg?
its hypertonic. if it were in water, it would be hypotonic.
