  • Welcome to the fourteenth episode of The Sci Guys. In this episode we will be investigating an experiment involving the creation of a naked egg and then going through the process of shrinking and growing our egg through osmosis. We will show you how you can explore this topic at home with a bunch of simple household items and a laser.

    There's a couple of important phenomena you guys left out of the last 2 graphics.
    1. During the corn syrup stage: Once the water exited the egg the surrounding corn syrup became less dense, and rose towards the top of the glass. This means the water concentration outside the egg stayed [reasonably] constant (the graphic depicts a saturation outside of the egg).
    2. Dye stage: There aren't any pigment/dye molecules depicted entering the egg (or even staining the membrane which I suspect attributes to most of the tinting.
    Also, this is mostly just a nitpick, but even before an equilibrium has been reached there's still a cross exchange. In other words, some water would be exiting the membrane while a larger portion was entering. Your graphic omitted this, which is actually good for keeping things relatively simple and easy to learn. That's the way professional graphics depict almost any molecular phenomena. It always gets to me when I see that though. In my opinion, the more realistic the dynamics are the better the educational value. You can still make things clear/simple by hilighting, or isolating, a demonstration area (center of the screen) while having a more realistic fluid dynamic in the background/edge of the screen. Possibly even in the actual background, if you want to include distance and a 3-dimensional view to the cross section display (like looking into a microscope, you tend to have space for a few layers of cells).
    Lastly if you didn't die from my wall of text... What do you guys think about replacing the corn syrup with oobleck? Would it work?
    I think it would, but the corn starch might settle/separate and harden. Maybe adding a surfactant like soap would prevent that, but if that's necessary how would it affect the egg?

    I am curious to know what happens if you break the blue egg as it is clear the colorant is on its surface. Listening your explanation it is clear to me that the colorant should remain on the surface of the egg, however it should not going inside. If you break the blue egg, do you find the colorant inside or not?

    Hey thanks for the video guys. What I don't understand is why the egg became bigger (absorbed water) when it was placed in vinegar, the acetic acid. Is this because the concentration of the egg was higher than that of the vinegar, and so the water traveled into the egg because it was placed in a hypotonic solution? Thanks and please reply!
