No, vinegar has a higher concentration of water than an egg. Therefore, if an egg is placed in vinegar, then it will gain mass because vinegar is hypotonic to the egg.

When the vinegar absorbed into the egg and caused it to expand This was an example of?

osmosis, where the vinegar solution moved from an area of higher concentration (outside the egg) to an area of lower concentration (inside the egg). This caused the egg to absorb the vinegar and swell, demonstrating the process of osmosis.


How does osmosis occur in an egg cell?

Osmosis occurs in an egg cell if you place it in liquids. If you put it in vinegar, the egg's shell will start to dissolve. Then, you can test osmosis in water or salt water. Because the egg is considered a cell, it will swell the egg cell with plain water (meaning it will increase the egg's mass). With salt water, the egg cell will shrink in mass.


What material moved through the egg membrane after soaked in syrup?

Water moved out of the egg when soaked in syrup because of osmosis. This is because the concentration of water is lower outside the egg than inside, causing water to move from an area of higher concentration (inside the egg) to an area of lower concentration (outside the egg).


How does osmosis work in an egg cell?

When an egg is placed in a solution with a higher concentration of water than the inside of the egg, water molecules move into the egg through its semi-permeable membrane via osmosis, causing the egg to swell. Conversely, if the egg is placed in a solution with a lower concentration of water, water will move out of the egg, causing it to shrink.


What is egg osmosis?

Egg Osmosis is the process of shrinking and expanding. for (eg): An egg is placed in corn syrup for 60 minutes to show osmosis. The egg is then placed in fresh water to show the reverse effect.

What causes water molecules to move when an egg is placed vinegar?

egg has more water molecules than vinegar so when egg is placed in vinegar water molecules move from the egg to the vinegar due to osmosis,which is defined as "the movement of water molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration thru a partially permeable membrane" there fore the water molecules move inward. The proof is that the egg got larger and this was because water moved into the egg after the shell disintegrated from the 5% of acid in the vinegar. (the other 95% is water)


Does an egg get bigger in vinegar?

The egg was larger after remaining in water. Water has a lower concentration of solute molecules than the vinegar. Therefore, more water diffused to an area of higher concentration of solute particles.


What happens when you put a raw egg in vinegar and then saltwater?

When you put a raw egg in vinegar, the acid in the vinegar dissolves the eggshell. This leaves you with just the egg membrane. When you then place the egg in saltwater, osmosis occurs where water moves from the egg to the saltwater or vice versa depending on the concentration gradient, causing the egg to shrink or swell.

When an egg is placed in water in which direction did the water molecules move?

the egg will sink and the water will ''float''


Is vinegar a hyper tonic solution or a hypo tonic solution?

vinegar is a hypotonic solution if you would like an example take an egg and put it in to a glass of vinegar and the egg will swell.


Show me what happen to an egg if you put it in vinegar?

when you put it in vinegar it becomes all soft and pickled. Then if you put it in water the egg will puff back up to normal size because of diffusion. The egg had low concentration and the water has a lot of concentration so the egg will puff up.


What do you think vinegar or salt water will break a egg?

The egg will break in vinegar.


What happends to a egg when it is in water or vinegar?

Vinegar makes the egg wrinkly/takes off the shell and water makes and egg stronger


Is it osmosis or diffusion if you put an egg in vinegar?

If you put an egg in vinegar, then this process would be called osmosis because osmosis is the movement of solvent particles (in this vinegar), while diffusion is the movement of gas, solute and solvent particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.


Why does the weight of a egg change after soaking in vinegar?

An egg swells in vinegar because of diffusion. The vinegar has seeped through the egg's membrane, which causes the egg to inflate. However, the main reason you put the egg in the vinegar is because you want to dissolve the shell. This makes diffusion easier to occur on the egg's semi-permeable membrane. When you put the egg in the vinegar for the first time, an expansion is likely due to the carbon dioxide in the shells (it's the bubbles you see). This will expand the shell as the carbon dioxide attempts to escape.


If You can pell a raw egg without breaking the membrane or melt away the shell in vinegar If you place it in a glass of water it will swell in size until it breaks why is that?

Water diffuses in from the glass because there is a higher concentration of salts in the egg.
