Quantitative Estimation of Sugars to Soft Drinks

Procedure: Measure the volume, mass, length and temperature of a variety of items. Create dilution of sugar water.

By examining the filtration results, we can predict that the molecular weight of glucose must be

Given the background, we hypothesized that for the first experiment, the lactase will break down lactose in milk and have a similar effect to sucrose. We also predicted that the Milk + Lactase reactant would have more glucose, the Milk + Water reactant would have a little bit of glucose broken down, the Sucrose + Lactase reactant would have less glucose than the Milk + Water reactant, and the Sucrose + Water reactant would have little to no glucose at all. As for the first procedure of the second experiment, we had hypothesized the more basic the solution would become, then the more glucose there would be. Our prediction for the first procedure of the second experiment was that there would be no glucose found in the solutions containing pH 4 and pH 7. For the second procedure of the second experiment, our hypothesis was that glucose would be present in the reactants at 4ºC and 25ºC while the reactant that had been in the hot water bath at 100ºC would have little to no glucose because it would have evaporated. We predicted that for this temperature experiment, the glucose would evaporate at 100ºC and would remain at 4ºC and 25ºC. For the first experiment we had found that a reactant of Milk + Lactase have high levels of glucose, while the other three reactants do not. As for the second experiment, for the first procedure, amounts of glucose were found in

C) Again, rinse the saucepan and then add 250 grams of sugar to your 250ml graduated cylinder and then add water up to the 250ml mark. You will place a small piece of plastic wrap over the top of the graduated cylinder (or parafilm if you have that), and mix the sugar with the water. Then pour the contents into a small saucepan over the stove. You will fill the graduated cylinder up to the 250ml mark again and then pour the tap water into the saucepan as well. You will now heat the mixture on the stove and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Once this has happened, you will remove the solution from the saucepan, pour the solution into a container and label that container 50% sugar solution.

The independent variable was the concentration of sucrose in the dialysis tubing we used as a simulated membrane.

In this lab we found out that the dialysis bag contained more fluids inside it. This can happen because sucrose is small enough to pass through the selectively permeable membrane. Some errors that might have been encountered during the lab could have been the fact that some of the dialysis bags were not tightly tied with the dental floss, or that the wrong substance was used. Another possible source of error was if the carrot strips had been dehydrated from the beginning of the experiment or were already

MANUAL Q4: Why should you wipe the outside of the cuvette before placing into the SpectroVis?

In order to test the predictions of the hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic hypothesis for the solution  made during the study,  four samples of sucrose were taken and placed into two different beakers each containing a different concentration. Beaker 1 is  250- mL and contained 150-mL of 10% sucrose with dialysis tubing A, while beaker 2 (a large bowl) contained 1% sucrose, with dialysis tubing  B, C, and D. Tubing A contained 10-mL with 1% sucrose. Tubing B

To ensure the experiment was kept as a fair test a number of variables were controlled. The temperature of the solutions was kept constant by placing the boiling tubes into a test tube rack and setting it into a water bath with a fixed temperature of 25oC. The temperature needed to be kept low and fixed as a high temperature would denature the enzymes, they would therefore be unable to break down the gelatine and no results would be produced from the experiment. Keeping a constant temperature also meant that the solutions reacted at the same rate.

14) Obtain the unboiled chloroplast suspension, mix, and transfer 3 drops to cuvette 3. Immediately cover and mix cuvette 3. Insert it into the spectrophotometer's sample holder, read the percentage transmittance, and record it in Table 4.4. Replace cuvette 3 into the incubation test tube rack. Take and record additional readings at 5, 10, and 15 minutes. Mix the cuvette's contents just prior to each readings. Remember to use cuvtte 1 occasionally to check and adjust the spectrophotometer to 100% transmittance.

To calculate the concentration of the sucrose and glucose after the first reaction, and the final concentration of glucose of the samples of Powerade and Gatorade, the Beer-Lambert equation was used.

When the 4 eggs were weighed it was found that out of the 4 solutions, 2 were hypotonic and 2 were hypertonic. The mass of 2 of the eggs increased and the other 2 decreased after 60 minutes in the various solutions. Out of the 4, the most hypotonic solution was the distilled water; and the most hypertonic solution was the solution with 2.0M glucose. The
