This lab’s purpose was to experiment how much of a syrup solution would seep through a dialysis bag at different temperatures.
Procedure
We prepared by filling up three dialysis bags with about 100 mL of a syrup solution. We tied knots on either end and measured the initial mass of the bags. The bags were measured in grams. Then we added water to three different beakers, each being a different temperature. One beaker was room temperature, another was heated to about body temperature, and the last was ice water. Next, we added a dialysis bag to each of the three beakers. We let them sit for 5 minutes without disruption. After 5 minutes, we weighed the mass of the bags. We put the dialysis bags in the beakers for 3 more intervals,
