Alien Egg Experiment!

The video tutorial demonstrates a science experiment involving an egg, vinegar, and corn syrup. Initially, the egg is placed in vinegar, which dissolves the shell due to the acidic nature of vinegar, leaving a membrane that makes the egg appear larger. This is due to osmosis, where water moves into the egg. The egg is then placed in corn syrup, causing it to shrink as water moves out of the egg into the syrup. The experiment illustrates the concepts of acid reactions and osmosis, resulting in an 'alien egg' appearance.

What is the first step in preparing the egg experiment?

• Place the egg in corn syrup

• Brush the egg with soda

• Leave the egg in the sun

• Put the egg in a cup and cover it with vinegar

What happens to the eggshell when it is placed in vinegar?

• It changes color

• It becomes harder

• It dissolves due to the acid in vinegar

• It remains unchanged

Why does the egg appear larger after being in vinegar?

• The egg absorbed air from the vinegar

• The egg absorbed sugar from the vinegar

• The egg absorbed salt from the vinegar

• The egg absorbed water from the vinegar

What is the main reason the egg shrinks when placed in corn syrup?

• The egg absorbs salt from the corn syrup

• The egg absorbs air from the corn syrup

• The egg absorbs sugar from the corn syrup

• Water moves from the egg to the corn syrup

What is the purpose of using corn syrup in the experiment?

• To make the egg sweeter

• To observe the movement of water out of the egg

• To change the color of the egg

• To harden the egg
