This is my first time designing my own lab and was wondering if anyone has experience/knowledge on "Osmosis". I'm attempting to determine 'osmosis' in an egg by putting it in various solutions: honey, milk etc...
Anyways, would love to hear from you!

I would expect that the more viscous the substance, the harder it would be for osmosis to occur. Think of it like this, Which one would flow through a filter easier - ketchup or water? Ketchup is highly viscous and will not flow through a filter easy if at all. Water is not very viscous and flows right through a filter. Therefore the more the viscosity, the harder it is for the fluid to undergo osmosis in the permeable membrane.

Viscosity means increased large molecule protein content (such as albumin ) and therefore results in diminished permeability

my guess is the higher the viscocity the slower the process and vice versa.

You should do your own homework.
