When an egg is placed in syrup, it undergoes osmosis, where water moves out of the egg into the syrup, causing the egg to shrink. The syrup's high concentration of solutes creates a hypertonic environment, drawing water out of the egg's contents. As a result, the egg decreases in size and may appear wrinkled or shriveled. This process highlights the effects of osmotic pressure on cells in different solutions.

What is the volume of liquid remaining when the egg is removed from the syrup?
The volume of liquid remaining when the egg is removed from the syrup is the same as the initial volume before the egg was added to the syrup. The egg displaces its own volume in the syrup, so when it is removed, the liquid level returns to its original state.
How do you explain the volume of liquid remaining when the egg was removed from the syrup?
The measured volume decreases by the volume of the egg. However, the volume of just the liquid never changes.Read more: What_is_the_volume_of_liquid_remaining_when_the_egg_is_removed_from_the_syrup
What happens if you soak an egg in maple syrup?
When an egg is placed in Kary syrup the egg releases the water inside of it to achieve diffusion. There is a higher concentration of water in the egg than in the Karo syrup. When you touch the egg after it was left in the Karo syrup overnight you will find that it collapses under your touch because it has lost some of its volume (the water). The egg will also shrink in size.
Why does an egg get bigger when put in pancake syrup?
An egg gets bigger when placed in pancake syrup due to the process of osmosis. The syrup is hypertonic compared to the egg's contents, causing water to move out of the egg through its semi-permeable shell to balance the concentration of solutes. As the egg loses water, it shrinks slightly, but the syrup's high sugar concentration can cause the egg to absorb some syrup, leading to an increase in size overall. This results in the egg appearing larger as it absorbs some of the syrup's moisture.
Does an egg in syrup shrinks?
Yes, an egg will shrink in syrup because the syrup has a higher concentration of sugar than the egg, creating a higher osmotic pressure in the syrup causing water to move out of the egg into the syrup. This loss of water from the egg will cause it to shrink.
Was there more or less syrup in the cup with the egg?
There was less syrup in the cup with the egg, as some of the syrup had been displaced by the egg when it was added.
What happens if you soak an egg in syrup?
The egg gets sticky.
What happen to egg is placed in corn syrup?
It shrinks into a smaller size. When an egg is placed in syrup the water moves out and causes a decrease in its mass. This is a result of Osmosis occurring, since water moves to higher solute.
Which egg was in hypertonic solution?
Corn syrup
What does corn syrup do to an egg membrane?
it absorbs a majority of the corn syrup and sores it in it's membrane
Why didn't the corn syrup go into the cell shell-less egg?
The corn syrup did not enter the shell-less egg due to osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane. The concentrated corn syrup has a lower water concentration compared to the egg's interior, causing water to move out of the egg to balance the concentration gradient. This results in the egg shrinking rather than the syrup entering. The egg's membrane allows water to pass through but is less permeable to larger solute particles like those in corn syrup.
What is the isotonic solution of corn syrup to egg?
its hypertonic. if it were in water, it would be hypotonic.
