The standard curve to determine the amount of betacyanin is shown below. You extracted a red pigment from a beet disc (the mass of a disc is 2 g) using 10 ml of 20% ethanol solution. You measured absorbance of the solution above the beet disc every minute for a total time of 20 minutes. The increase in absorbance was linear during a period of time from 1 min to 10 min. The absorbance at 10 min was 0.8. Calculate the amount of betacyanin extracted from 1g of a beet tissue per minute. Explain your calculations. You can use Excel or a calculator.

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in the leaves of the plant, carotene imparts orange coloration while anthocyanin is known as the purple pigment. In one of their laboratory, a group was tasked to confirm the presence of these pigments on a certain leaf. After crushing several leaves, they soak it in isopropyl paper strip was dried and the group got the following measurements from the submerged tip of the paper strip: solvent font - 9.9cm, purple ink -8.6cm, yellowish orange ink - 6.4cm and green ink - 4.2 retention factor of each pigment. (d) Rank each pigment according to their solubility in the given solvent.

A certain amount of white solid was dissolved in enough water and gives a colorless solution. A portion of the solution was added with 15% solution of alpha-naphthol solution and a few drops of conc. H2SO4 forming a violet-colored ring. Another portion was added with drops of Seliwanoff’s reagent and showed no change after being warmed in a bath. Another portion was added with equal amounts of Fehling’s A and B reagent giving a red precipitate in a blue solution after warming in a bath. a) Cite an experimental result confirming that the solid is a carbohydrate b) Is the solid starch, fructose or glucose?
