Osmosis of Sucrose Solutions of Different Molarities Through Dialysis Tubing (a Semi-Permeable Membrane)

I. DESIGN A. PROBLEM/RESEARCH QUESTION 1. How does increasing molarity of sucrose affect osmosis through dialysis tubing?

B. VARIABLES 1. The independent variable in this lab is the molarity of sucrose each dialysis bag is filled with. The time (30 minutes), the temperature (23C) and the type of dialysis tubing used are all constants. 2. The dependent variable is the final mass of the dialysis bag. 3. The control in the experiment is distilled water, as it does not contain sucrose solution. C. MATERIALS NEEDED 4. Five 30 cm strips of dialysis tubing 5. Five clear plastic cups 6. 10 pieces of yarn 7. Distilled water 8. Sucrose solutions (with molarities of: 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8) 9. Calculator 10. Electrical balance 11. Clock 12. Beaker 13. Funnel 14. Graduate cylinder 15. Rag 16. Sharpie D. PROCEDURE 1. Obtain five 30 cm strips of presoaked dialysis tubing. 2. Tie a knot in one end of each piece of dialysis tubing with a small piece of yarn to form 5 bags. 3. Pour 20 mL of each of the following solutions into separate bags: A. Distilled water B. 0.2 M sucrose C. 0.4 M sucrose D. 0.6 M sucrose E. 0.8 M sucrose 4. Remove air from each bag by drawing the dialysis bag between two fingers. Tie off the other end of the bag. Make sure to leave sufficient space for expansion of the contents in the bag. 5. Rinse each bag gently with tap water to remove any sucrose solution spilled during the filling. 6. Carefully blot the outside of each bag, find and record the initial mass of each bag. 7. Place each bag in an empty cup, and label the cup to indicate the molarity of the solution in the dialysis bag. 8. Fill each cup with distilled

    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…

    Now, assemble and arrange all of the needed supplies so that they are easily accessible. Connect the IV tubing to the solution bag and allow the fluid in the bag to run through the entire length of the tubing, also known as priming the tubing. When this is done, clamp the tubing closed. You will then need to tear several pieces of tape, six to eight inches in length, to later secure the IV catheter and tubing to the patient’s skin. Keeping these items within close reach will help with the success of the IV catheter placement.…

    We tested the permeability of the dialysis tubing to glucose, starch, and iodine. Initially, glucose and starch were placed into the bag, and iodine outside of the bag in the beaker. We used the iodine test for the presence of starch which proved positive inside of the bag, and Benedict’s reagent for glucose which was positive outside of the bag. We therefore concluded that only small molecules like glucose and iodine can permeate through the bag, starch is too large.…

    To begin this experiment we filled 5 dialysis tubings with one of the five substances: water, egg white, NaCl, glucose, or sucrose. The equipment used was: 5 dialysis tubing, a scale, bekers, water, egg white, sucrose, glucose, NaCl, and 5 cups. We put the five dialysis tubing filled with one of the five substance into a cup filled with one of the substance: water, egg white, NaCl, glucose, or sucrose. Then we let them sit in there for 30 mins then took them out of the cups and remassed them.…

    For each tube, we folded up the bottom end and tied it securely so that the solution would not spill. Approximately 15mL of 0.4 sucrose solution was poured into one tube, while 15mL of 0.6 sucrose solution was poured into the other. Using our fingers, we removed most of the air out of the tube, and tied off the other end of the bag with string. Sufficient space was left so that the contents could expand. Both bags were then rinsed off gently with distilled water to remove any sucrose solution spilled. Then the outside of the bags were blotted off and the initial mass of each bag was taken, and recorded in grams. Each bag was placed in a cup that was labeled to indicate molarity of the solution in the dialysis bag. Each cup was filled with enough distilled water for the dialysis tubing to be completely submerged. The cups were left to stand for 20 minutes. At the end of this time, both bags were removed from the water, blotted and weighed again. The mass of each bag was recorded. Unlike the procedure called for in the lab manual, only 10cm of dialysis tubing was used per solution, as opposed to 30cm. Also, each cup was only filled with enough distilled water to cover the tubing, rather than 250 mL or 2/3’s of the…

    I worked in a group of 4 to complete this experiment. First off I took the four sections of 15-cm long dialysis tubing that had been presoaked in dH2O and folded over one end of each tube (I found that twisting works well too) and tightly tied one of the 8 10-cm pieces of string (or waxed dental floss) that I cut with scissors around it to…

    My hypothesis is: if the dialysis tubing that is filled with sucrose solution and fully emerged in a beaker of distilled water, then the water will seep into the dialysis tubing and the tubing will become a greater mass. The independent variables in this lab are the beakers of distilled water, and the…
