For chemistry we have to make ONE brownie, so i have to convert measurements. In order to make one brownie i need one twelfth of an egg. How can i get an exact measurement? tsp, grams, or any other measurement is good.

I have to know the exact amount before i start the experiment, and we are doing the experiment at school, so i cant make it and then bring it, and i cant measure the egg i have and then divide it by twelve..... i have to know the exact amount im going to use before i make it.

The most accurate way to measure food is by weight. Find a good scale (sensitive to portions of grams) and weigh one egg (without the shell). Divide that by 12 and that is how much (by weight) egg you will use for your brownie.

What a bizzare assignment. The problem is that an egg isn't a defined size, they come from small to jumbo, and even two medium eggs can have substantially different masses. Most cooks estimate a large egg is about a quarter cup in volume, and 12 teaspoons are in a quarter cup. Therefore, 1/12 of an egg = 1 teaspoon of egg.
Weird.

If you don't need the yolk, separate that and pour the egg white into a small measuring cup. Divide that volume by 12 or whatever you need, and take that volume out using a tea-spoon or whatever so you can make one brownie.
If you need the yolk, go ahead and gently mix the yolk and the white together, being careful not to get it too foamy; after all, the yolk is going to break one way or the other in your mixing bowl. Once the foam has settled, continue as described above.

No problem
A large egg contains 2oz of liquid - watch this
there are 2 Tablespoons to an ounce
So you should have 4 Tablespoons of liquid
magic time-
By some marvelous coincidence there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon
so you need 1 tsp of a scrambled egg.

Beat the egg. Weigh it in grams and divide by 12. Measure out this many grams and add to your batter.

Well..
An average large egg starts out at around 80 grams....without the shell....if that's any help to you....so 80/12 = 6.67 grams?? round it up to seven to be safe.....extra egg is better than not enough.....

Make a BIG one so that you need a full egg!!!
Otherwise, use a pipette and a kitchen scale!

That's stupid. Make a whole batch and then bring just one of them with you to Chemistry class. Duh.
