The presence of glucose in the starch solution was confirmed by the positive result obtained in the dialysis experiment. Starch molecules are too large to pass through the dialysis membrane, while smaller molecules like glucose can diffuse through. This demonstrates the selective permeability of the dialysis membrane.

How will you determine whether iodine entered the dialysis bag containing starch?

You can determine if iodine entered the dialysis bag containing starch by performing a simple iodine test. Add a few drops of iodine solution to the bag. If the iodine turns blue or purple, it means that iodine has entered the bag and reacted with the starch inside.


Why did the starch not enter the beaker?

The starch did not enter the beaker because the membrane of the dialysis tubing is selectively permeable, allowing only smaller molecules, like glucose and water, to pass through. Starch molecules are too large to pass through the pores of the membrane, thus they were unable to enter the beaker.


What is a positive test result for starch?

A positive test result for starch is the formation of a blue-black color when iodine solution is added to the sample being tested. This color change indicates the presence of starch in the sample.


What is result when silver nitrate is added to a starch?

When silver nitrate is added to starch, no reaction occurs. Silver nitrate does not react with starch molecules.


Was the membrane-tubing-permeable to starch?

I'm assuming this is in reference to an experiment where you put a starch in dialysis tubing, and then put iodine in surrounding solution. Dialysis tubing has a limit of roughly mwco (molecular weight cut off of 10,000). Iodine has a molecular weight of roughly 126, so it can pass through. On the other hand, starch is a polymer of 1000's of glucose molecules. Glucose (C6H12O6) has a molecular weight of roughly 180. 1000 * 180 = 180,000, so glucose cannot pass through the dialysis tubing. In this experiment you should see the sealed tubing turn purple-pinkish after the iodine diffuses through. The outside solution should remain the same color.

What happen to the starch solution in the dialysis bag at the end of experiment?

At the end of the experiment, the starch solution in the dialysis bag remains unchanged in terms of its concentration, as starch molecules are too large to pass through the dialysis membrane. However, if iodine was present in the surrounding solution, it may have entered the bag and reacted with the starch, resulting in a color change. This indicates that while small molecules can diffuse through the membrane, the larger starch molecules cannot. Thus, the starch solution inside the bag retains its original properties.

What will happen when starch is mixed with solutions?

In this scenario, the concentration of solutes (the glucose and starch) is higher inside of the dialysis tubing than it is outside. As such, water will diffuse (via osmosis) into the dialysis tubing causing it to swell.


Would sugar's starch or salt diffuse faster in a dialysis bag?

When considering a dialysis bag, size will determine whether the molecules will permeate the bag. The smaller the molecules, the easier they well be able to pass through, and the faster diffusion will take place. Starch is a carbohydrate - a macromolecule formed from repeating bonded units of glucose monomers. Salt, in comparison, is simply Na+ and Cl- ions (in the aqueous solution). Starch will have a much tougher time getting through the artificial membrane, so it is a safe bet that salt will diffuse faster.


Why can starch molecules not pass through dialysis tubing?

Starch molecules are too large to pass through the pores of dialysis tubing. Dialysis tubing has small pores that restrict the passage of large molecules like starch while allowing smaller molecules like water and ions to pass through via diffusion.
