We will dialyze a solution of glucose and starch to observe:
?? The directional movement of glucose and starch.
?? The effect of a selectively permeable membrane.
In this lab, we will be using an indicator to test for the presence of starch and glucose. An indicator is a
substance that changes color when in the presence of the substance it indicates.
Experimental Protocol
Materials needed:
Glucose solution (M.W. =180g/mole)
1% starch solution (M.W. = >15,000g/mole)
Lugol?s solution (Potassium iodine)
4 glucose test strips
*15cm piece of dialysis tubing
(4) 100ml beaker
*Water
4 small rubber bands
7 graduated pipettes
*Watch or timer

None of the starch diffused out of the bag.  Starch molecules are too big to fit through the semipermeable membrane.

Glucose diffused out of the bag, but not all of it diffused out of the bag -- it diffused to reach concentration equilibrium with the surrounding bath outside the bag.

(You'll need to add a sentence about whether and which direction Lugol's diffused).
