sausage tubes or casings is what you did at the job. The company was in bedford park, il or Chicago, il in the 1950's

What is visking tubing?
Visking tubing is a kind of seamless semi permeable tubing, a cellulose tubing, that is made of regenerated cellophane. It is used as an edible casing for sausages or as a membrane in dialysis.
How can you use a visking tube to test the hypothesis that osmosis happens faster at higher temperatures?
Put a sucrose solution into the visking tube and fasten the ends, then place it in water (at different temperatures). The varying temperatures would quicken or slow the rate of diffusion (osmosis). Then using iodine, you put some in the water that the visking tube was in and if it turns dark blue/black the more sucrose has diffused. This can be put into a calorimeter to check the intensity for different temps. You should find that the higher the temp. the higher the rate of diffusion (because particles are excited and have more kinetic energy and move more). Hope this helps =) Sana (17 yrs)
What part of our bodies acts like a visking tube?
You may be thinking of the blood capillaries. Like visking tubing, their walls are able to let substances diffuse in and out. This is also true of the cell membranes. However both of these are much more permeable than visking tubing. The kidney contains semi-permeable membranes which allow urea to pass through but not other substances such as proteins.
Why it was important to wash the outside of the visking tubing?
it needs to dry
What substance would the student expect to find if respiration occurred in the test tube?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Can glucose pass through visking tube?
fine glucose molecules can pass through the wall of the visking tube.
What is a type of tube that is semi-permeable?
visking tubing
What will and won't pass through a visking tube?
Cannot pass through visking tubing: sugar starch lactose sucrose Can pass through visking tubing: Iodine Glucose Maltose
What part of body does the water represent in visking tube?
small intestine

How is a visking tube not like a real small intestine?
it is different because widts of the tube and intestine may vary
What can you use as alternative to visking tube?
the visking tubing is useless and we need an alternative. can u helpful human beings help please? we are in the middle of a chaotic crisis trying to find the reason for osmosis. please help you kind human beings :) i hate you bye -from the scientists of Mars :
How does visking tube work?
small intestines and the blood that surrounds in (ie in the capillaries)
What is a detailed explanation of how the visking model is good or bad?
can someone tell me what is good about visking tube and whats bad about it asap because i need to give my homework by tmor and my homework relates 2 that
