  • 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?

    This experiment is so cool! I tried it and it turned out really well. But what would happen if you put it in food coloring first, that corn syrup?

    • @TheSciGuys
      @TheSciGuys  10 років тому +6

      Bubblecubes Here is my prediction. If you take your naked egg directly from the vinegar stage and place it in water with food colouring, the egg may grow slightly bigger and will also probably absorb some of the food colouring. If you then place it in the corn syrup, it will shrink all the way down like it did in our video. You should try this at home and let me know if my prediction is correct.

    here are the questions my teacher assigned me and their answers incase anyone else got them.
    What happens to the egg once the shell is removed? Why?
    It grows because water has flown from the vinegar into the egg through osmosis.
    What happens to the egg after it is placed in corn syrup? Why?
    It became shriveled and small because it didn’t absorb any water like it did from the vinegar.

    The closed captioning on this isn't very good, just as a heads up. For instance, instead of "and an old spoon or gravy ladle" the closed captioning has "and all spoon or reveal". Similarly "the first step in our experiment is take your day gently placing a bomb in class" instead of "the first step in our experiment is to take your egg and gently place it in the bottom of your glass".
    Could be very problematic for someone who is hard of hearing to try and follow along!

    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!

    Would you say there was lore liquid in the cup before you let the egg sit in the syrup for a day than after or less?

    Hey guys! I have a question... I want to make this with my kids (I'm a teacher) and I was wondering if I can use maple syrup instead of corn syrup? It's just because it's easier to get 'cos almost all the corn syrups here are transparent and I think the color it's a special feature... Thanks! Amazing job.

    Hi I would like to ask you 2 questions
    1) if I leave the egg in vinegar for a long time will it grown larger? (1 week in vinegar)
    2) if I leave the egg out of the vinegar will it rot? (1 week out of the vinegar)

    • @TheSciGuys
      @TheSciGuys  9 років тому

      Shahd Eweis 1) It won't grow any larger than the equilibrium of the liquids and the size of the membrane will allow. So a longer time in the vinegar won't change much.
      2) It will probably eventually start to mold or go bad. If you leave the egg on a plate it should start to 'sweat' out the liquid inside it and should shrink slowly. Not sure how small but maybe we will do a quick video to see what happens.

    Does it make any difference if the corn syrup is dark or light? Does it just affect the tint of the egg or i the dark corn syrup necessary for the reaction?

    • @TheSciGuys
      @TheSciGuys  10 років тому +1

      Lizzi Rockwell It shouldn't matter which you use and yes it should only change the tint of the egg. Just make sure you are using a corn syrup that has a really high sugar content.

    Hello! In school we did an experiment similar to yours. We put or egg in Vinegar, Corn Syrup, and then Water but then we put it back into Vinegar or some other classrooms put there egg in Coca Cola.

    • @TheSciGuys
      @TheSciGuys  10 років тому +1

      BOB JEFF Cool! Did you have fun doing the experiment? Also what did you observe about the egg when it was placed in vinegar again or the coke?

    • @jeffl2248
      @jeffl2248 10 років тому +1

      The Sci Guys Well when we but it in the vinegar again we kept it in the vinegar for about 2 days and you could see the membrane (before we couldn't see it) and when we started to move the egg around. You could see the yolk inside it. All our egg mass for the second time of putting it in the vinegar was 2 times bigger than a raw egg. You guys should really try doing that... :)

    • @TheSciGuys
      @TheSciGuys  10 років тому +1
