Topic: Visking tubing


  
  Apparatus for demonstrating osmosis
This apparatus for demonstrating osmosis through visking tubing (otherwise known as dialysis tubing) and is widely used in school.
Visking tubing is a semipermeable membrane that allows small molecules like water to pass through but does not allow larger molecules like sugar.
The visking bags can be left attached to the bungs but should be rinsed and stored in water or a mixture of water and ethanol to keep the bag soft.

What is a visking tube and will iodine pass through the tube to identify starch within the tube.
Visking tubing is a tube made of plastic which is semi-permeable.
Starch can’t pass through Visking tubing or the gut because it is too big and not soluble (it doesn’t dissolve in water).

 OSMOSIS
If a concentrated solution of sugar (glucose) is put in Visking tubing with no leaks, then when the tubing is lowered into distilled water, after a time the water molecules will have diffused into the Visking tubing until the concentration is equal.
The Visking tubing is a partially permeable membrane as only water molecules can pass through it.
In our example of the Visking tubing, if we count the sugar molecules as the main component of the solution we can say that the water was the hypotonic solution as it contained the least sugar molecules and that the sugar solution was hypertonic because there were a greater number of sugar molecules.

Visking tubing is an artificial semi permeable membrane.
Result: the tubing fills and expands plus the volume of water outside the tubing decreases; glucose is present inside the tubing but not outside the tubing.
Active transport is the energy demanding transfer of a substance across a cell membrane against its concentration gradient, i.e., from a region where the substance is in lower concentration to where it is in higher concentration.

 To investigate the effect of osmosis on a potato
The volume of the substance inside the visking tubing, which is a semi-permeable membrane, began to rise because the water had spread into it through osmosis.
When the concentration of the substance in the boiling tube is more than the concentration of the potato water will move out of the potato and into the tube through osmosis, making it flaccid.
When the concentration of the substance in the boiling tube is less than that of the potato the water will move from the tube into the potato through osmosis, making it turgid.

Sealing the ends of the tubing to retain its contents is now very easy and secure using one of the range of membrane closures available from Medicell.
The Mediclip is a single size plastic clip designed to meet the general needs of tubing users and is ideal for most situations where membranes up to 40mm flat width are being used (to Size 7).
When a Weighted Closure is used in conjunction with a regular closure, a vertical position of the dialysis tubing is achieved, increasing the rate of dialysis.

 Find the effects of the concentration of a sugar in water on the weight on potato chips.
Like the potato chips, visking tubing will lose more and more weight the higher the concentration of sugar is in the solution.
It is believed that plant cells work so similarly to visking tubing as it works on the same principal of minute pores.
Although an experiment using visking tubing would work well, we are going to use potato chips, as they are already a formed part of the potato, where osmosis would naturally occur.

 Diffusion - Osmosis demos
The movement of water molecules can also set up a pressure, called osmotic pressure, which depends on the difference between the concentrations on either side of the membrane.
"Visking" tubing is a form of processed cellulose or cellophane which has pores in it through which water (and other small molecules) can pass, so it can be considered as a PARTIALLY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE.
If it is sealed at one end, attached to a glass tube, and filled with a liquid such as sugar solution, and immersed in another liquid such as water, then water should pass through the visking tubing and cause the level of liquid to rise inside the glass tube.
