Question

Biology students used raw eggs in an experiment on tonicity and osmosis. The students put their eggs into vinegar to remove the shells. The vinegar was used to remove the shell from the raw egg. What other effect(s) did the vinegar have on the egg?

Answer 1

The vinegar had turned the whites of the egg clear, so you can see in it.

Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is - the mass of the egg increased and egg white become somewhat transparent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vinegar has acetic acid that helps in dissolving the eggshell and release carbon dioxide and make the egg white somewhat transparent. The other main effect that vinegar has on the egg is to make it bouncy and increased its mass due to the hypotonic nature of the vinegar in the egg that leads to the diffusion of the water into the cell.

Thus, the correct answer is - the mass of the egg increased and egg white become somewhat transparent.
