Do you expect diffusion of sucrose to occur across the dialysis tubing membrane? Why or why not? Do you expect osmosis of water to occur across the dialysis tubing membrane? Why or why not?
Added by Dana L.
Step 1
The pore size of the dialysis tubing membrane does not match the size of the sucrose molecule, so sucrose cannot pass through the membrane via diffusion. Show more…

Was the dialysis tubing permeable to water? Give evidence from the lab to support your answer. You have a dialysis tubing bag containing a 10% sucrose solution; explain what will happen if a) You place the dialysis tubing bag into a bowl containing a 3% sucrose solution? b) You place the dialysis tubing bag into a bowl containing a 20% sucrose solution?

IV. Dialysis Questions 1) Is the dialysis bag permeable to sucrose, water, or both? How do you know this? 2) What can be said about the sucrose concentrations (bags 1-4) and the rate of osmosis? Is there a relationship? Explain. 3) If instead of water, you place bags 1-4 into a 20% sucrose solution. What results would you expect? 4) How do you account for the results seen with bag 5? Is this significant? 5) Why was Bag 5 included in this experiment? 6) The terms of exchange are dictated by certain predictable factors. What are they?

Kidney Dialysis Semipermeable membranes of the sort used in kidney dialysis do not allow large molecules and cells to pass but do allow small ions and water to pass. Figure $P 11.7$ shows such a membrane separating fluids of various compositions. a. In which direction does the water flow in each apparatus? b. In which direction do sodium ions Aow in each apparatus? c. In which direction do the potassium ions flow in each apparatus?
