The Effect Of Concentration Of Sucrose On The Dialysis

A. The size of the molecule. The larger molecule will diffuse more slowly than the smaller molecule.

In this lab experiment, half our group observed and measured osmosis using dialysis tubes that were represented as the semipermeable membrane. It is permeable to water and other small molecules but is impermeable to larger molecules such as the sucrose solution used in each of the four beakers and tubing. The other half of our group observed the tonicity of sheep blood to determine whether the blood was isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic. The 85 g/dL of NaCl solution was the ideal isotonic number in relation to the sheep blood cells as well as a reference to the other observations of the solutions.

As the Concentration of the Sucrose Solution decreases, the more the potato’s mass increases. This is due to the solution being hypertonic. So, as the solute concentration gets lower, the potato’s water concentration will get higher, therefore more water particles from the solution will absorbed by the potato. Some changed very little in mass because the concentrations of the H2O molecules in the potato and outside the potato were equal. This equality in concentration is called Isotonic.

Hypothesis: If we add higher concentrations of sugar to the dialysis tubing, then the net movement of coffee into the dialysis tubing will increase.

Table 1 shows the contents of the bags and the content of the concentration it was submersed in. Bags 2-4 each contain a solution of both sucrose and water. These bags were each put into beakers containing hypertonic solution. These bags gained weight over time because the water moved from its high concentration inside the beaker to the low concentration inside the membrane of the artificial cell, the membrane being the bags that consisted of dialysis tubing. The

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

The hypothesis states that if the solution is hypotonic the results will decrease, if the solution is hypertonic the results will increase and if the solution is isotonic the solution will vary and or remain constant. 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. Then dialysis tubing A was placed into beaker 1 with B, C, and D placed into beaker 2 for 45 minutes and weighted at 15 minute intervals. My finding in the study was that each of the four samples changed from their initial weight and for the most part accurately proved the hypothesis.

In this study we constructed we researched whether different sucrose concentrations affect the rate of osmosis. In order to do this, we constructed artificial cells out of dialysis tubing filled with 20% sucrose and 40% sucrose and weighed them every 10 minutes for 90 minutes. In doing so, we concluded that the higher the sucrose concentration, the faster the rate of osmosis.

There were several steps completed to prepare for the experiment. Three dialysis tubes were filled with approximately the same volume of distilled water and then were tied shut. The initial mass (in grams) of the tubes was taken using a triple beam scale. I then filled three 500 mL beakers with 400 mL of water each and dissolved different masses of solute (table sugar) in each beaker in order to make 5%, 10%, and 20% solutions. The beakers were labeled accordingly, and then 20 g, 40 g, and 80 g (respectively) of table sugar was weighed out using a digital scale and placed into the corresponding beakers. The sugar was stirred in using a stirring rod until all of the solute was completely dissolved.

In this experiment osmosis is the main process taking place. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules of a solvent which pass through a semi permeable layer and in most cases are due to a concentration gradient meaning that the water molecules travel from an area of low concentration to one of higher concentration. In this investigation, gummy bears of different colours (dependent variable) were placed in different concentrations of glucose (independent variable) over a certain period of time.In addition to that, the color of the gummy bears was also observed to see if the color could

1. What specific part of the kidney does the dialysis tubing represent? What is the function of this part?

The research question asks how varying sucrose concentrations affect the rate of anaerobic cell respiration in yeast, measured in CO2 production. The rate of anaerobic respiration will be determined by measuring the rate of CO2 production by the yeast cells.

Secondly, osmosis was to be observed to gain a proper understanding of how the principal of dialysis functions.

Six plastic cups were obtained and labeled 0.2 M, 0.4 M, 0.6 M, 0.8 M, and 1.0 M. Next, each of the six dialysis tubes were knotted on one end and filled with the sucrose samples, and then tied off. These samples were then dried by patting with a paper towel, weighed and placed into their corresponding cups. The mass of each sample was recorded in table 2 on the data sheet. Each cup was then

If the solution contains only sucrose then the osmotic pressure will increase substantially. This would represent a hypotonic solution because more water molecules are entering the cell meaning the solution contains no invertase. If the osmotic pressure has a slight increase than the solution contains sucrose and invertase due to the rate of the sucrose being broken down, however the cell will overtime begin to shrink. If the osmotic pressure remains close to the same than the solution contains no sucrose, containing only water and invertase. We predicted that because the height of the fluid in the osmometer tubing was increasing only a little bit our blue solution was hypertonic and contained invertase and sucrose. The invertase was able to break down sucrose into glucose and fructose which were small enough to be able to leave the cell membrane. This would reflect a hypertonic solution. We predicted this would cause the cell to shrink in size and the height of the fluid would never increase.
