Dialysis of Starch
Dialysis of starch, glucose and sucrose Introduction: Research question: Does the dialysis tube only allow certain substances to pass through the pores because of their size? Dependent and Independent variables: Independent variables: The temperature of the classroom The size of the molecules The size of the pores in the tube The concentration of the indicators Dependent variables: The substance will either pass the pores of the tube or not The result will vary in darkness (color) Controlled variables: The heat of the Bunsen burner The time taken to heat the substance The quantity of the liquid Hypothesis: Through help of the indicators we can find out if sugar can pass through the dialysis tube. Sucrose may not pass because it consists of two glucose molecules. Starch is a big molecule so it might not pass as well. Materials: Dialysis tube Test tube Bunsen burner Platform to put on the beaker Method: Put glucose in dialysis tube Leave the substance in a beaker for 15 minutes to give it the time to diffuse Take around 1 or 2 ml of the water + Benedict out and put it into a test tube Allow it to heat for 1 minute and see if there is any reaction. Put sucrose in dialysis tube Leave the substance in a beaker for 15 minutes to give it the time to diffuse Add hydrochloric acid to the water and afterwards Benedict Take around 1 or 2 ml of the water and put it into a test tube 10.Allow it to heat for 1 minute and see if there is any reaction in tube 11.Put starch in dialysis tube 12.Leave the substance in a beaker for 15 minutes to give it the time to diffuse 13.Add 2ml iodine to it and check if it has the same reaction as the lab report before 14.If there is time left, do control experiment to see if there is no reaction without the experimental substances (sucrose, glucose and starch) 15.If time left do negative control experiment to see

    We then went to see if the sucrose entered the bag unfortunately the benedict's solution showed negative results. The second test ( Bag: 5% ovalbumin Beaker: 1 M sucrose) we put biuret in a test tube with the beaker solution and the indicator showed negative results. Then for the next test (Bag: 1 M Glucose Beaker: distilled H2O) they put Benedict's solution in a test tube with the beaker liquid. The benedicts showed positive results. The next test (Bag 1 M Sucrose Beaker: 1 M NaCl) they put Benedict's solution in a test tube with the beaker liquid. The indicator showed negative results. For the next test(Bag: 1 M NaCl Beaker: distilled H2O) they put silver nitrate in a test tube with the beaker liquid. The silver nitrate showed positive results. The next test (Bag 1 M sucrose Beaker: 5% ovalbumin) they used mass change to determine if the solute could pass through the bag. They weighed the bag before and after. The mass of the bag decreased showing that the H2O passed through the bag. The next test (Bag: 1 M NaCl Beaker: 1 M glucose) they put silver nitrate in a test tube with the eaker liquid. The indicator tested positive. The next test( Bag 1 M Glucose Beaker 1 M sucrose) they put iodine in a test tube with the beaker liquid. The indicator showed positive results. The next and final test (Bag: 1 M glucose Beaker: 5% ovalbumin)…

    In the test for starches, water again will serve a the negative control for the experiment becasue it is inorganic. it appears obvious the 1% starch solution will test positve for starches becasue it is starch. The onion juice should carry starch due to the fact that starch is stored energy for plants and onions are very bulbous, while the sucrose solution again will not test positive because sucrose is only a part of starch.…

    Spit Lab

    The objective for the Spit lab was to test two different types of crackers for the presence or absence of starch and of reducing sugars. Also, to test the chewed cracker, the one that didn’t have a reducing sugar, for the presence or absence of a reducing sugar with the saliva in it. Adding on, another part of the objective is to determine the effect of amylase on starch. For the Chemical Aspects lab, the objectives were to test for the presence or absence of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins in several test samples. In the starch test, the objective was to find the substances that contain starch. In the starch test, iodine was used. In the reducing sugar test, the objective was to find the test materials that have a reducing sugar. In the reducing sugar test benedicts was used. In the grease spot test, the objective was to find all the samples that had a lipid. Another one of the lipid tests were the dye test which was a more specific test to find the substances that all contained a fat by using a solution of Sudan 4 and water. The protein test’s purpose was to determine all the test materials that contained a protein by using biuret solution. The procedure for the Spit lab was to perform the starch test and reducing sugar test on both crackers. Then chew up the cracker that doesn’t have reducing sugars. Next, test the sample for a reducing sugar. The results of the Chemical Aspects lab were that starch, potato juice, cracker solution, and cereal contain starch. In the reducing sugar test glucose, fructose, lactose, and milk contain a reducing sugar. In the grease spot test, salad oil, milk, and chips are lipids. In the dye test, salad oil and chips are fats. Egg albumin, cereal, and cracker mixture show that they are proteins. In the Spit lab the saliva and cracker test showed up positive. The starch test for saltine was positive. The reducing sugar test for saltine was…

    Seal the end if it is not already closed. Next, pick up a pipette and fill it with glucose. (Use this pipette only for glucose) then release the glucose into the dialysis tubing. Place four more pipettes full of glucose into the dialysis tubing. Now it is time to get another pipette (not the one used for glucose) and fill it with starch and release it into the dialysis tubing. Repeat this 4 (four) more times until there is a total of 5 pipettes of glucose and 5 pipettes of starch in the dialysis tubing. Mix the solution. Next, seal the dialysis tubing completely and make sure there is little to no air left in the dialysis tubing. Rise the bag with water. Next, fill a 400ml beaker with 300ml of water. Add 5 pipettes of Lugol´s into the 300ml of water. Mix the solution gently. Place the dialysis tubing bag into the 400ml beaker and leave for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes remove the bag and record your findings. Get 3 test tubes and label them “control” “bag” and “beaker” Next fill an unused pipette with water and pour it into the control test tube. Open the dialysis tubing and fill a pipette of the solution inside using an unused pipette. Repeat again and pour into the bag test tube. Place two pipettes of the beaker solution into the beaker tube. Add one pipettes of Benedict´s into each tube Heat all tubes for three minutes. Record…

    Pre-Lab: Identifying Carbohydrates

    The point of this lab is to determine if a substance contains carbohydrates such as a reducing sugar and/or polysaccharides. This will be done by using Benedict’s reagent and Iodine stain tests. Benedict’s reagent will react to reducing substances in the solution by oxidizing it and changing the structure of the reducing sugar to form a colored precipitate. The color of this precipitate can be used to determine the concentration of reducing sugars in the substance. If the precipitate is blue no reducing sugars are in the substance. If the precipitate is bluish green, green, yellow, or orange it does contain reducing sugars. Iodine stain will be used to determine if the solution contains polysaccharides.…

    We then repeated this in two more test tubes. We put one of the test tubes in ice (0 C) we put another in the water bath (42 C) then we put one in boiling water (100 C). We repeated the same thing for the boiled amylase. We then checked at five minutes to see if the starch had been digested by the amylase. We did this by putting a little of each of the six samples into a spotting tile. We then added iodine solution to this to see if starch was present or not. I could tell if starch was present or not because if the solution went orange it meant that there was no starch present, so all the starch had been digested, if the solution went blue/black it meant that there was starch present, so the starch had not been fully digested. We recorded the results in a table. We then waited another two minutes so that all together the starch solution had been in there seven minutes. We did exactly the same thing as we did at five minutes we also recorded these results in a…
