Is the osmosis egg challenge a chemical reaction? If so, was the stored energy in the reactants released (exothermic) or absorbed (endothermic) during this physical change?
If not, was energy released (exothermic) or absorbed (endothermic) by the molecules during this physical change?

yes it is

Explanation:

because what ever you mix in it it would explode and give a chemical reaction

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
