Predict what would happen if the students took the eggs :
throughout the experiment and placed it in vinegar. Explai
answer
A)The mass would decrease because the vinegar is
hypertonic to the solution inside of the egg
B)The mass would decrease because vinegar is less
dense than the inside of an egg, which is protein, The
egg solution is hypertonic to the bevinegar
C)The mass would increase because the vinegar is
hypotonic, Te graph shows the egg gaining mass
When placed in the vinegar solution at the beginning
of the experiment
D)The mass would remain constant. The egg ends at
86g; if placed in vinegar, no change should occur
The vinegar and the solution in the egg are isotonic
at this point
