The gummy bear would get smaller and shrink because the salt absorbs the water in the gummy bear
When you place a gummy bear in sugar water, the gummy bear will absorb the water through a process called osmosis. This causes the gummy bear to swell and increase in size as it absorbs the water.
When a gummy bear is soaked in sugar water, it will absorb the water through a process called osmosis. As a result, the gummy bear will swell in size and become softer as it absorbs the sugar water.
probably but i think it gets larger
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
When a gummy bear is placed in water overnight, it will absorb the water through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. As a result, the gummy bear will swell and increase in size as it absorbs the water. This is because the concentration of water inside the gummy bear is lower than the concentration of water in the surrounding water, causing water to move into the gummy bear to reach equilibrium.
It expands. Get bigger over a period of time.
When you put a gummy bear in tap water it grows.
Gummy bears are all made out of the same thing corn syrup, water, sugar, coloring, and Gelatin. The gelatin in the gummy bear acts like a sponge and makes the gummy bears absorb water. If you place gummy bears in water they all will swell over time.
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.

The size is almost the same volume of a kidney bean. The volume is about 0.75 cm cubed.
