We hypothesized that the iodine will diffuse into the bag, turning the inside a darkish blue/black color. We also hypothesized that glucose will diffuse out of the bag, forming a green color (after the Benedict’s test). This experiment was set up using a dialysis tubing bag, balloon clips, beaker, iodine, solution of 1% soluble starch and 15% glucose. The dialysis tubing bag was filled up with starch and glucose, leaving a pocket of air for diffusion of materials, and sealed using balloon clips. At the beginning of the experiment, the inside of the test tube was white and the beaker had a yellow tint. This tube was then placed into a beaker containing water and iodine, and left to sit for a 20 minute time period. After the elapsed time was over, the inside of the tube started to turn dark blue. Once we had recorded the information from this experiment we put the beaker containing the dialysis tube through the Benedict's test, which includes heating up the beaker. The solution within the beaker then turned green. Both of these results were affected from the movement of different materials through the semipermeable

This experiment was setup by filling up 4 dialysis tubes with a series of sucrose solutions, each containing the same amount of volume. These solutions each contain a different concentration, which will, in turn, affect each dialysis tube differently. leaving a small pocket of air for diffusion of materials, and sealing the tube using balloon clips. The tubes are then weighed for their initial mass and recorded. Each of these tubes are then placed in a beaker and fully immersed in water. These tubes are left in the beaker for a total of 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes, each tube is then weighed a second time and the mass is recorded. The tubes are all changed in different ways based on the solution that was contained within their

    During this experiment eggs were rolled on paper towels to blot the excess liquid and then weighed. They were then placed into one of six solutions immediately afterwards. In 15-minute intervals, the eggs were blotted and weighed again. This process was repeated four times, adding up to 60 minutes.…

    Observing Osmosis INTRODUCTION Osmosis is the “diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane” (Raven et al. G-16). In this experiment, dialysis tubing was used to mimic the selectively permeable membrane to show what osmosis does when placed in different solutes. We filled dialysis tubes fill with different percentages of solute and placed them in beakers full of a different solute. Through this experiment, I saw what happens when the solution becomes hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic. My hypothesis was that bag A would shrink because the water would leave the bag to go to the higher concentration.…

    Method: In this experiment each group received 2 chicken eggs whose shells have been dissolved off. This gave us a differentially permeable membrane so that we can observe osmosis and what happens when the membrane is presented with different solutions. Since we did not know the concentration of the egg, we had to assume that it equaled the concentration of the membrane. We then had the ability to determine the concentration based off the assumption and the rate of osmosis.…

    In experiment 1.1, we studied the relationship molecule size has with diffusion rate. Our hypothesis claimed that smaller molecules will travel farther across the agar plate given the same duration of time. Based on the data collected, our hypothesis was proven true. Potassium permanganate has a molar mass of 158 g/mol, methylene blue 319.85 g/mol, and potassium dichromate with 294.185 g/mol. Potassium permanganate diffused the farthest, potassium dichromate second, and methylene blue secured the least distance diffused.…

    Osmosis is the net movement of water towards higher concentration. In osmosis experiment, water likes to diffuse from an area of low-solute concentration to an area of high-solute concentration. The purpose of the osmosis experiment was to observe the diffusion of solutes and the osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane, which was dialysis tubing. This experiment was done to examine, if the solution is hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic.…

    In each tube, a certain amount of a starch solution and a potassium iodide solution was added. Then, each test tube was placed in three different baths, each with different temperatures: an ice water bath, a warm water bath, and a very warm water bath. After the solutions adjusted to the temperatures of the baths, they were taken out, and a certain amount of a potassium persulfate solution was added to each tube. After the potassium persulfate solution was added, the time it took for each reaction to occur was measured. For this experiment, the control variables were the amount of starch solution, the amount of potassium persulfate solution, the concentration of the substrate, and the absence of a…

    5. Protein purification There are many thousand kinds of proteins with different properties and functions in a cell. Proteins have been purified in active form on the basis of such characteristics as solubility, size, charge and specific binding affinity. Normally, protein mixtures are subjected to a series of separations, each based on a different property to yield a pure protein. 5.1 Separation based on solubility (Scopes, 1994) The protein solubility in various solvents depended on the distribution of hydrophilic and hydrophobic residues on the surface of the protein molecules.…

    In experiment 2.1, absorbance readings for both heated and unheated corn and tapioca starch were taken. For both starch’s the heated results came to be much higher then the un-heated as seen in Table 2.1. Iodine reacts with the amylose compound in starch where it gets trapped in the amylose coils and blue-ish colour is formed after the addition of Lugols reagent (Fennema and others 2008). The absorbance readings came out higher for heated corn starch because iodine had more amylose to react with. As corn-starch is heated gelatinization occurs where amylose is released since the starch granule is disrupted.…
