The Effect of Concentrations of Starch and Sugar Solutions on Synthetic Semi- Permeable Membranes Question: Is dialysis tubing selectively permeable? Hypothesis: If one has dialysis tubing, which is dipped in water, filled with Gatorade and starch and is left for 15 minutes, the sugar in the Gatorade will exit the dialysis and into the water. So the dialysis is semi-permeable. Materials: 16 cm dialysis tubing beaker cylinder test tubes transfer pipettes Gatorade Starch solution 10 g/1000 ml water Benedict's Solution Iodine Solution
