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.
Your vinegar gummy bear swelled due to osmosis, where water from the vinegar (which is a dilute acetic acid solution) moved into the gummy bear, which has a higher concentration of solutes. The vinegar's acidity can also break down some of the gelatin, allowing more water to enter and increase the size. In contrast, the water gummy bear may not show significant size change since it was already in a similar osmotic environment, and the water concentration was balanced.
it will contain much more calories + a higher content of fat :] um, really nothing. the gummy bear would get stuck in the corn syrup.. harden & lose flavor as you lose you're teeth biting into it. all in all, that's pretty gross :]
When you put a gummy bear in vegetable oil, the gummy bear will start to swell and expand due to the oil breaking down the gelatin in the gummy bear. This process is known as osmosis, where water from the gummy bear moves into the oil, causing it to grow in size. Eventually, the gummy bear will become translucent and lose its original shape as it absorbs more oil.
The time it takes for a gummy bear to dissolve depends on the solution it's placed in. In water, a gummy bear can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours to dissolve, depending on factors like temperature and movement of the water. In a more acidic solution, like vinegar, the dissolution process can be quicker. Overall, the exact time can vary significantly based on the conditions.
Yes, adding baking soda to a gummy bear recipe can affect its texture. Baking soda acts as a leavening agent and can make the gummy bear more airy or chewier, depending on the amount used. It may also affect the flavor and color of the gummy bear.
"Gummy Bear" breast implants come with plenty of benefits. For instance, they don't rupture as easily as other types of implants. Plus, they feel and look more like natural breasts.
Clear water evaporates first because it absorbs more heat from the sun. Dark water typically absorbs more heat, but in this case, the clear water absorbs more because it doesn't have the dark color to reflect sunlight.
Yes, for our science fair project that was our question and cotton absorbs more.
actually yes... some people have ate so many gummy bears in one day there blood sugar shot up and they died.. another incident was that somebody actually choked on a gummy bear.
Gummy bears typically begin to melt at temperatures around 90°F (32°C) and can become noticeably sticky and lose their shape as they reach higher temperatures. At temperatures above 100°F (38°C), they will start to break down more significantly. However, the exact melting point can vary slightly based on the specific ingredients and formulation of the gummy bear.
Gummy bears do not actually grow in baking soda. However, when you soak gummy bears in a baking soda solution, they absorb water and expand in size due to osmosis. The baking soda solution helps to speed up this process by creating a more concentrated environment for water to flow into the gummy bears.
