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.

Can hydrogen ion pass through the pores of dialysis tubing?

No.Hydrogen ion cannot pass through the pores of dialysis tubing.


Can oxygen pass through pores of dialysis tubing?

Yes, oxygen molecules are small enough to pass through the pores of dialysis tubing. This allows oxygen to diffuse into the dialysis tubing from a surrounding solution or environment.


Will protein diffuse through dialysis tubing?

Yes, protein can diffuse through dialysis tubing due to its small size and ability to pass through the pores of the tubing.


To Which substances was the dialysis tubing permeable?

I don't know unless you give more details!


Why is dialysis tubing not submerged in pure water?

The tubing is permeable; itallows water to pass through the tube wall.


What is dialysis tubing supposed to mimic?

The dialysis tubing is meant to represent the semi permeable membrane of a cell. Like the cell membrane, dialysis tubing has holes or pores that only allow certain things to pass through. A cell membrane similarly will only allow certain things to pass in and out.


Is dialysis tubing permeable to sodium hydroxide?

Dialysis tubing is typically made from semi-permeable materials that allow small molecules and ions to pass through while blocking larger ones. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) dissociates into sodium ions (Na+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution, both of which are small enough to pass through the dialysis tubing. Therefore, dialysis tubing is permeable to sodium hydroxide in its ionic form.


What is the components of blood that cannot pass the dialysis tuning?

First of all, it is called Dialysis Tubing. Secondly, they are not 'Components', they are 'Contents'. Thirdly, only small molecules can pass through the semi-permeable membrane of the tubing, if using Diffusion. If using Osmosis, only water can pass through.


Do sodium ions pass easily through the pores of dialysis tubing?

Yes they do; this is because a sodium ion has a small [atomic] size compared to the size of the pores of the dialysis tubing. Then we can look at the our phospholipid bilayer; why there they are can pass easily? So if in the phospholipid bilayer they can pass easily through, so at the dialysis tubing they also can easily pass.


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.


How is dialysis tubing similar to a small intestine?

Both the dialysis (cellulose) tubing and the small intestine are selectively permeable. Meaning they allow only some and not all substances to pass through. E.g. Glucose (small molecule of sugar) is able to pass through, however Starch (larger molecule of sugar) fails to do so. Hope this helps


Is dialysis tubing alive?

No, dialysis tubing is not alive. It is made of a semi-permeable membrane, typically composed of synthetic materials, which allows certain molecules to pass through while blocking others. This tubing is used in laboratory settings to mimic biological processes, but it does not have any biological functions or characteristics of living organisms.
