Biological Membrane Study: HCl‚ NaOH‚ SDS Objective and Hypothesis: The objective of this lab is to determine the effects of SDS‚ HCl‚ and NaOH on red cabbage cell membrane. Prior knowledge can tell us that the red cabbage is a red-purple color due to a pigment called anthocyanin. This is what we will be testing in the experiment. We also know that HCl is a strong acid (very low pH) and that NaOH is a strong base (very high pH). From information learned in this course (lecture/lab) we can assume

concentration to titrate. Using a 25cm3 pipette‚ washed out with some of the NaOH solution‚ transfer 25cm3 of the solution to a 250 cm3 volumetric flask‚ and fill to the line with distilled water. The alkali will now have a concentration of 0.1 mol dm-3. • In the titration‚ the NaOH will be in the burette‚ and will be titrated into HCl in a conical flask: NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) • The reaction is 1:1 between NaOH and HCl‚ so a solution of 0.2 mol dm-3 should be used. • Rinse a 25cm3
