A classic example of osmosis in the classroom involves placing an egg in water or syrup. The egg first sits in vinegar until the shell is dissolved. Then, it is placed in a glass of either tap water or syrup. The mass of the egg is measured. The results are in the chart below. Use what you know about osmosis to explain why the egg increased in mass in the distilled water but decreased in mass in the corn syrup.

Water is a micromolecule which goes inside the egg.

Explanation:

The egg increased in mass by placing it in distilled water but decreased in mass in the corn syrup because water is a micromolecule which can easily moved into the egg through the small pores of the shell by the process of osmosis while the corn syrup is a macromolecule which is big for the pores present in the shell so that's why due to water movement through the pores increases mass of the egg.
