If the egg was put in both solutions for the same amount of time, and the only experimental variable being the concentration gradient of the solutions, then the concentration gradient must affect the rate of diffusion since the rates were different. Also, since there are more molecules that are moving in the 10% solution, there are more collisions between the molecules, which creates more kinetic energy and makes the molecules move faster, which increases the rate of diffusion.

# data[].attributes.body
The concentration gradient does affect the rate of diffusion, because the steeper the concentration gradient the more molecules there are which makes them collide which creates more kinetic energy thus raising the rate of diffusion.

# data[].attributes.body
As can be seen, when the concentration gradient is steeper (10% salt solution), the faster the diffusion occurs because more mass was lost within the same 10 min. The molecules are always moving, and the more salt molecules that collide cause there to be more kinetic energy.

# data[].attributes.body
There was a higher difference of percent concentration of salt in the 10% salt solution that the 5%, and in the 5% than the distilled water. The rate of diffusion became lower as the concentration became smaller, therefore the concentration gradient affected the rate of diffusion.

# data[].attributes.body
When there is a larger difference between the concentrations of molecules of a solute in certain substances, there is a larger difference in kinetic energy in the substances. This translates to the Eggsperiment because in solutions with higher salt concentrations, the rate of diffusion aka concentration gradient was higher due to the larger difference in kinetic energy between the salt solution and inside the egg. This caused the H2O molecules in the egg to collide more rapidly than in the salt solution, which lead to more water molecules leaving the egg than were entering it. This caused the mass of the egg to change more dramatically when there was a larger difference in the H2O concentration of the solution it was soaked in.

This is because when the concentration gradient was steeper, the egg lost more mass. This is because when there is a higher percentage of the solute, there are more molecules in the given space, which permits more molecules to go across the membrane. This shows that the rate of diffusion is affected by the concentration gradient.

# data[].attributes.body
When the concentration gradient was steeper in the same amount of time, more mass was lost. This is due to more molecules of the solute, leading to more collision of molecules, created more kinetic energy. Because more energy is created, the rate of diffusion is increased.

When the egg was put in the 10% salt solution for 10 minutes, there was a change in mass of 1.34 grams. When the egg was put in the 5% salt solution for the same amount of time, there was a change in mass of only 0.21 grams.

# data[].attributes.body
When the egg was placed in the 10% salt solution for 10 minutes, it lost about 1.46 grams, when the egg was in the 5% salt solution for 10 minutes, it lost about .54 grams and finally, when the egg was placed in the distilled water for 10 minutes, the egg gained about .77 grams in mass.

# data[].attributes.body
When comparing the 10% salt and 5% salt solutions, in the same amount of time the 10% solution lost 1.46g and 5% solution lost 0.54g.

# data[].attributes.body
In the 10% salt solution the egg lost 1.3g of water. In the 5% salt solution the egg lost .5g of water.
The distilled water caused the egg to gain 1.6g.

The concentration gradient affects the rate of diffusion

# data[].attributes.body
The concentration of the 5% salt water and 10% salt water were different masses, despite being put in a solution for the same amount of time. The 5% salt changed -0.54g, and the 10% salt changed -1.49g. When the egg was in a solution of 0% salt, it gained about 0.77 g.

# data[].attributes.body
When the egg was soaked in 10% salt solution, its mass changed by an average of -1.46 g. When it was soaked in 5% salt solution, it lost an average of 0.31 g. When the egg was soaked in pure distilled water, it gained an average of 0.77 g.

# data[].attributes.body
This is because the egg lost a different amount of mass despite being in the solution for the same amount of time. It lost more mass in the 10% solution, -1.46 g, which is more than it lost in the 5% solution, -0.54 g
