    Organic Compounds Lab Report

    The purpose of this lab is to simply determine the absence or presence of the main chemical content of a given substance. In previous labs, there were tests with three chemicals, Lugol's solution, Benedict's solution, and Biuret solution. The tests were qualitative and tested for the presence of sugars, starches, or proteins within a given substance. The substances were already known, so the tests were used to figure out what each solution showed presence of. After going through all of the tests, Lugol's solution showed the presence of starch, Benedict's solution showed presence of sugar, and Biuret solution showed presence of protein. In this lab, these solutions will be put to the test.…

    Identification of Unknown Carbohydrates Using Various Biochemical Tests

    The next test that was carried out was the Iodine Test. 15 drops of solution and 5 drops of iodine were added to a test tube and observed for any colour change. This was repeated for each carbohydrate. If the solution turned blue-black, the carbohydrate is starch. Carbohydrate E turned blue-black while the others had no colour change therefore it was concluded that Carbohydrate E was identified as starch. As Carbohydrate E was identified as starch, there were no further tests required on this solution.…

    Lab Abstract 1

    The purpose of this experiment is to learn how to test for common macromolecules and identify macromolecules in substances. The four tests that were used were: Sudan IV test, Iodine test, Biuret test, and Benedict’s test. The Sudan IV test identifies lipids. If the test is positive it will have a deep pink layer. Out of the four tested substances, only vegetable oil tested positive. The Iodine test determines if starch is present. In this test, potassium iodine reacts with starch molecules turning a blue or purple color. The starch substance was the only one tested to be positive for any of the substances. Benedict’s test is used to identify sugars. For this test, you add Benedict’s solution to a heated substance. If sugars are present, the substance will produce an orange or red color. The substances that tested positive were glucose, fructose, lactose, and Sprite. They tested positive because all of them had enough sugar to be detected. The Biuret test is used to detect proteins. A substance that contains two or more adjacent peptide bonds will form a purple complex. The higher number of bonds means a more intense color. Both Sprite and Half & Half tested positive. Although it seems these items wouldn’t contain proteins, they have just enough to be able to be detected. It was proved that various food contain a variety of macromolecules. Even though these tests worked, they’re not objective for trace substances. In the future, more sensitive testing agents should be used.…

    Pre-lab: Identifying Carbohydrates

    There were methods of determining whether a substance contained reducing sugars or polysaccharides. For the Benedicts test, the color changes of bluish green/greenish blue (trace amount +; honey solution, cornstarch solution, sweet ‘N’ low, sweet potato and egg yolk), green (++), yellow (+++) and orange red/rust (large amount +++: glucose/dextrose and equal) appeared, the concentration of reducing sugar indicated a positive test. Although, when the appearance did not change and remained the color of the Benedicts’ reagent of blue, indicated no reducing sugars, or a negative (-) test (water, table sugar solution, gelatin, egg white solution, and unknown (A3) solution). As for the Iodine stain, the color changes of bluish black (indicated plant starch; cornstarch solution and unknown A3), dark reddish brown (indicated glycogen), and violet brown to reddish brown (indicated cellulose; potato solution and sweet potato) presented…

    The positive test for starch is adding iodine solution. In the experiment, the starch solution had the most dramatic reaction with the iodine solution. It turned to an opaque bluish-purple solution while other samples all turned to a colour related to orange and yellow other than the vegetable oil. But the vegetable oil was more translucent than completely opaque.…
