Osmosis with an egg
(a) Remove the shell of an egg by dissolving
it in dilute hydrochloric acid. The shell
is mostly calcium carbonate. A thin
outer skin now encloses the egg. Put
the egg in pure water and observe after
5 minutes. What do we observe?
The egg swells because water passes
into it by osmosis.
(b) Place a similar de-shelled egg in a
concentrated salt solution and observe
for 5 minutes. The egg shrinks. Why?
Water passes out of the egg solution
into the salt solution because the salt
solution is more concentrated.​
