The weight of water in dialysis tubing changes over time due to osmosis, where water moves across the semi-permeable membrane in response to concentration gradients. If the solution outside the tubing is more concentrated (hypertonic), water will exit the tubing to balance concentrations, resulting in weight loss. Conversely, if the external solution is less concentrated (hypotonic), water will enter the tubing, increasing its weight. This dynamic continues until equilibrium is reached or until the dialysis process is stopped.
molecular weight higher than the pore size of the tubing or dialysis bag material doesnt go.
Yes, phenolphthalein can pass through dialysis tubing, as it is a small organic molecule. Dialysis tubing is designed to allow the passage of small solutes while retaining larger molecules, so substances like phenolphthalein, which has a molecular weight of about 318 g/mol, can diffuse through the pores of the tubing. This property is often utilized in experiments to demonstrate diffusion and the selective permeability of membranes.
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.
Osmosis is usually detected by simply looking at the experiment - most of the time, enough water is transferred to cause a noticeable rise/fall in water levels. However, I assume you could tell through the usage of weighing scales - as water re-distributes, as would the weight.
19mm x 19mm square tubing of what ? Aluminium, Steel ? also depends on the length.........
Weight.
The vertical load capacity chart for square tubing provides information on the maximum weight that a specific size and type of square tubing can support when placed vertically. This chart is important for ensuring that the tubing is used within its safe weight limits to prevent structural failure.
Your weight changes because you eat.
The diet chart of a dialysis patient should be made on individuals current body weight compared to ideal body weight,current blood paramters,protein requirement and absorption,food habit.
Weight
Weight changes but, ordinarily, mass doesn't.
During dialysis, one liter of fluid typically weighs about one kilogram (or 2.2 pounds), as the weight of water is approximately equal to its volume. However, the specific weight can vary slightly based on the composition of the dialysis solution, which may include additional solutes or medications. It's important for healthcare professionals to monitor fluid weight closely to manage patient fluid balance effectively.
