The combination of Congo red cream and distilled water is used for staining cells for viewing under the microscope. Staining make the individual cells much easier to see.

What color does distilled water turn when mixed with red cabbage water?

Distilled water mixed with red cabbage water will turn a bluish color due to the anthocyanins in the red cabbage affecting the pH of the solution.


What is the environment of a red blood cell when red blood cells are approximately 0.25 percent salt Red blood cells are placed in distilled water?

The distilled water is a hypotonic environment.


Using red litmus paper what color would distilled water turn?

Red litmus paper would remain red because distilled water is essentially neutral, meaning it has a pH pf 7. Red litmus paper does not measure pH and only changes to a blue color when placed in acidic solutions, anything from pH 6.9-0.


Would osmosis have a higher concentration of water molecules distilled water or red blood cells?

Distilled water would have a higher concentration of water molecules compared to red blood cells. Red blood cells have solutes dissolved in them, so they have a lower concentration of water molecules relative to distilled water. This concentration gradient would result in osmosis moving water into the red blood cells to equalize the concentrations.


What observation will you make when red litmus paper and blue litmus paper are dipped in turns in distilled water?

When red litmus paper is dipped in distilled water, it will remain red, indicating that the water is neutral and does not change the acidity. Similarly, when blue litmus paper is dipped in the same distilled water, it will also remain blue. This observation confirms that distilled water has a neutral pH of around 7, which does not affect the litmus papers' color.

Procedure to mix Congo red powder?

To mix Congo red powder, first weigh the desired amount of powder using a scale. Add the powder to the appropriate volume of solvent (usually distilled water) and stir continuously until the powder is completely dissolved. It is important to mix slowly to avoid producing air bubbles.


What is Congo red stock solution?

Congo red stock solution is a dye solution primarily used in histology and microbiology for staining purposes. It is particularly known for its ability to bind to amyloid proteins, making it useful in the diagnosis of amyloidosis. The solution is typically prepared by dissolving Congo red powder in a suitable buffer or solvent, such as distilled water or ethanol, to achieve a specific concentration. In addition to its staining applications, Congo red has also been used in various biochemical assays.

What color is phenol red dropped into distilled water?

Phenol red dropped into distilled water would give a red color. The color of phenol red varies with the pH: it is yellow below pH 6.8, red at pH 7.4, and pink or purple at pH above 8.2.


What is the process called when diluting red blood cells in distilled water?

I think its osmosis because the water potential in the distilled water is higher than in the red blood cell. Henceforth, water would move into the cell by osmosis. But, I don't think the cell will be diluted because it will swell and eventually haemolysis will occur.


Phenol red dropped into distilled water would produce what color?

Phenol red in distilled water would produce a red color. This is because phenol red is a pH indicator that changes color based on the acidity of the solution. In neutral to basic solutions, phenol red appears red.


What is colour of red litmus paper in distilled water?

The colour remain unchanged.


Why is it ok to drink distilled water but detrimental to red blood cells?

1) Red blood cells placed in placed in distilled water cannot reach equilibrium so they will lyse due to osmosis.2) Water you drink is assimilated into the body through the gut...it doesn't just hit the bloodstream or any other unprotected cells.
