Observation: 1 has the highest concentration of starch and the following sample which are test tube 2, 3, 4 and 5 have lighter in colour which are light blue, purple, yellow and light yellow in colour respectively.

Question: Discuss about the dilution experiment. Explain about the change in colour, the structure of the starch. Explain about iodine also. Calculation below (starch concentration).

Test tube 1: (Weight / Volume) x 100 % = 0.5% (Weight/ 1ml) x 100 % = 0.5% Weight = 0.005g = 5mg = 500µg X= 500µg/ml = starch concentration for test tube A Test tube 2: Test tube 4: M1V1=M2V2 M1V1=M2V2 (500)(1)= M2 (10) (5)(1)= M2 (10) M2= 50µg/ml M2= 0.5µg/ml Test tube 3: Test tube 5: M1V1=M2V2 M1V1=M2V2 (50)(1)= M2 (10) (0.5)(1)= M2 (10) M2-5µg/ml M2=0.05ug/ml
