**Experiment on Diffusion and Molecular Weight***Materials Used:*- **Plate A**: Filter paper dipped into a 5% solution of unknown Dye A- **Plate B**: Filter paper dipped into a 5% solution of unknown Dye B*Method:*Both plates were incubated at 37°C. After a 60-minute incubation period, the diffusion rings for each dye were measured.*Results:*- Diffusion ring for Dye A = 40 mm- Diffusion ring for Dye B = 24 mm*Discussion:*Based on these results, which dye had the higher molecular weight? Explain your answer.**Explanation:**Generally, substances with a lower molecular weight diffuse faster and further than those with a higher molecular weight. In this experiment, Dye A diffused further (40 mm) compared to Dye B (24 mm). This suggests that Dye B has a higher molecular weight than Dye A.

Plate A = filter paper dipped into 5% solution of unknown Dye A Plate B = filter paper dipped into 5% solution of unknown Dye B Both plates were incubated at 37°C. At the end of the 60 minute incubation period the diffusion rings for each dye were measured. The diffusion ring for Dye A = 40 mm. The diffusion ring for Dye B 24 mm Based on the results, which dye had the higher molecular weight? Explain your answer.

On the graph that relates absorbance to flavin concentration, draw a horizontal line that starts at the point on the y-axis that corresponds to the absorbance of your unknown sample and ends at the curve you drew through your data points . Next draw a vertical line that starts at the point where the horizontal line intersected the curve and ends at the x-axis. The point where this vertical line intersects the x-axis corresponds to the concentration of flavin in your unknown sample. What was the letter on the tube with your unknown sample?
