Please help; I am seriously confusing myself. My data is below followed by question(s) that are stumping me. The Given dilution formula (C₁V₁ = C₂V₂) in the question does not match what is in my lab handout which is (A₁A_{2 =} C₁C₂) is it possible one is wrong. I do not necessarily need all three questions answered - please show me how to set up one and I should be able to set up & deduce the others!

Note: For the calculations you will perform in the assignments you will assume that, because this solution is very dilute, its density is the same as pure water: 1 g/mL. Therefore, there are 20 mg of starch per mL in the 2% solution.

**Post Lab Question: Plot out your data using a Michaelis-Menton curve. Appropriately label the x- and y-axes (which also includes the appropriate units). Try to draw a best fit curve using your knowledge.

The experimental Data is listed below. In addition to the experimental instructions that were followed. I have updated the lab instructions. This was a LateNite Lab (website) assignment.

About This Lab

In this lab, you will use spectrophotometry to follow the reaction of the amylase enzyme on starch molecules. You will examine the effects that environmental pH and temperature have on the rate of amylase digestion of starch. This will be observed by using iodine to test for the presence of starch. Iodine interacts with starch to form a dark blue-black color. As amylase breaks down starch, less and less starch is present, so the color of the iodine test solution becomes lighter and lighter until only the amber color of iodine will be seen.

In order to stop the reactions at a specific time, a strong acid, HCl, is added to the amylase solution. As the pH falls below the functional pH of the enzyme the reaction stops.

Procedures

Experiment 1: Creating a Calibration Curve for Starch-Iodine Measurements

1 Take three cuvettes from the Containers shelf and place them onto the workbench.

2 Take an Erlenmeyer flask from the Containers shelf and place it onto the workbench.

3 Add 0.25 mL of the 2% starch solution from the Materials shelf to the Erlenmeyer flask. Note: For the calculations you will perform in the assignments you will assume that, because this solution is very dilute, its density is the same as pure water: 1 g/mL. Therefore, there are 20 mg of starch per mL in the 2% solution.

4 Add 99.75 mL of water from the Materials shelf to the Erlenmeyer flask to obtain a dilute solution that is 1/400th the concentration of the original 2% starch solution on the shelf.

5 Using the dilute starch solution from the Erlenmeyer flask on the workbench and the iodine solution found on the Materials shelf, fill the three cuvettes as follows:

6 Exp. 1 Cuvette Set-up

7 Cuvette Name

8 Dilute Starch Solution (mL)

9 Iodine (mL)

Cuvette #1: 4ml Dilute Starch; 1ml Iodine

Cuvette #2: 2ml Dilute Starch; 3ml Iodine

Cuvette #3: 1ml Dilute Starch; 4ml Iodine

Take a spectrophotometer from the Instruments shelf and place it onto the workbench. Using the control panel:

â¦ Select the Vis button. A button that is selected has a gray background and blue font. The "Mode" should change to Vis in the view screen.

â¦ Set the wavelength to 620 nm:

âª Click on the number under "Wavelength" in the view screen. The preset value should disappear and a flashing cursor should appear.

âª Type in 620.

âª Press Enter.

â¦ Confirm that the A button is selected.

20 Blank the spectrophotometer:

â¦ Take a cuvette from the Containers shelf and place it onto the workbench.

â¦ Add 5 mL of water from the Materials shelf to the cuvette.

â¦ Move the water cuvette into the spectrophotometer's loading well where it says "open". The digital display will show the absorbance once the lid closes.

â¦ Use the water as your blank solution by clicking the Zero.

â¦ Press the Open button on the spectrophotometer's loading well to remove the cuvette. It will automatically go back to the workbench. Discard it in the recycling bin.

21 Move cuvette 1 into the spectrophotometer's loading well. The digital display will show the absorbance once the lid closes.

22 Record the cuvette's number, contents, and absorbance in your Lab Notes. Remember to press Saves Notes.

23 Press the Open button on the spectrophotometer's loading well to remove the cuvette. It will automatically go back to the workbench.

24 Repeat steps 8 â 10 to identify the absorbance of the remaining two cuvettes.

25 If you zoomed in on the spectrophotometer, press the Re-Set Zoom button in the lower right hand corner of the screen to go back to original view of the lab.

26 Discard the cuvettes and the Erlenmeyer flask in the recycling bin.
