out of 4 given samples A‚ B‚ C and D. Research Question: Out of the four given samples which sample consists of protein/ starch/reducing sugar/ disaccharide? What color changes will help to identify the contents of each sample when treated with iodine‚ biuret agent and benedicts solution? Theory and background information: What is a protein?1 Proteins are macromolecules‚ consisting of one or more chains of amino acid residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within living organisms

thiosulphate versus time from the start of the reaction was plotted from which the order of reaction with respect to iodine was deduced. Method 2. Determining the rate of a reaction with respect to iodine Using the burettes the four mixtures of hydrochloric acid (HCl)‚ propanone (CH3COCH3) solution and water were made up in the conical flasks according to the table 2. The volumes of iodine needed for each run were measured out from the burette into four test tubes. The tubes were marked as w‚ x‚ y and

(2013‚ February 21). Amylase. Retrieved February 27‚ 2013‚ from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylase Introduction: Aim: is to find out what the pH level of Amylase is. Variables: Controlled variables: are amount of amylase‚ starch‚ iodine‚ buffer solution and time. Independent variables: are the different buffer solutions being used. Dependant variables: are the different pH levels being registered. Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that the Amylase will register at around a

The word sustainability in my opinion would mean the ability to be held back. I believe this because the root word sustain means to be held behind or retained. After looking up the actual meaning of the word “sustainability”‚ I found the definition to be much different from mines. The actual meaning of the word sustainability in the dictionary is; the ability to be sustained‚ supported‚ upheld‚ or confirmed‚ which would relate to the topic of Hydraulic Fracturing. What is Hydraulic Fracturing you

positive metal ions in the solutions are less powerful reducing agents‚ then the metal in the plate will be reduced and hence form a deposition of solid metal. e.g. Zn + Pb2+-> Zn2+ + Pb EXPERIMENT 2: Aim: To range the halogens bromine‚ chlorine and iodine‚ with the strongest oxidising agent first. Hypothesis: A strong oxidising agent is a species that easily gains electrons‚ and is hence easily reduced. The ionisation energy of the halogens (Cl2‚ I2‚ Br2) decreases down the group‚ which means that

Biuret Test for amino groups present in proteins. The Iodine Test to identify the presence of starch. The Grease Spot Test and the Sudan Dye test to identify the presence of lipids (fatty acids). The Benedict’s Test to identify the presence of reducing sugars. In the biuret test if the test result for protein changes a color of lavender‚ purple or pink‚ the test result for protein is positive using the Biuret reagent. In the iodine test If the Iodine turns black or blue-black there is starch present

focused on finding the ratio of reactants to products to be either 1 to 1 or 1 to 2. In our case the reactants was Lead (II) Nitrate and Potassium Iodine. These two when mixed together make Lead Iodide and Potassium Nitrate. We also had to try and find if the number of moles of Lead(II) Nitrate was the same as the final number of moles for Lead Iodine after the experiment. Our data for the lab had pinpoint accuracy. Proved by the data table below Trials Volume of Pb(NO3)2 Mol Pb(NO3)2 Mol KI Mass

negative result because biuret reagent is blue to begin with. If a solution is pinkish purple‚ or purple‚ then the test for protein is positive. The test solution for starches is yellowish brown. If any substance that is yellowish brown when mixed with iodine‚ then the test for starches is negative. If the solution turns purple‚ or a dark purplish black‚ then the test for starches is positive. If DI water‚ and sucrose are tested for proteins using biuret reagent‚ then they will show a negative result
