Activity No. 11 General Characteristics of Carbohydrates: Name: Group No.: 4 Rating

Carbohydrates were tested using different solvents to analyze their solubility and consistency. Glucose was found to be highly soluble in water but insoluble in alcohol and partially soluble in hydrochloric acid. Fructose was highly soluble in alcohol but insoluble in hydrochloric acid. Starch was insoluble in alcohol but soluble in water and hydrochloric acid. Sucrose was insoluble in all three solvents. An ignition test showed that starch did not melt or bubble, but did smoke when heated.

Definition and Function of Carbohydrates
Elements Present in Carbohydrates

II. PROCEDURE

A. SOLUBILITY
Materials Needed : Distilled water, graduated cylinder,test tubes, funnel, fructose, sucrose,
glucose, starch and galactose in all equal amounts using spatula.
1. Transfer in test tubes all the sugar samples.
2. Put 10ml water in all test tubes.
3. Observe the water and the sugar combination. Take note of the consistency and solubility.

RESULT:
CONCLUSION:

10. Compare the solubility of the sugars using the 3 different solvents.
- glucose is highly soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol and partially soluble in HCL
- fructose is highly soluble in alcohol, partially in water and insoluble in HCL
- galactose is highly soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol and partially soluble in HCL
- starch is insoluble in alcohol, partially soluble in water and highly soluble in HCL
- sucrose is insoluble to the 3 different solvents but have different appearance
-

B. IGNITION TEST
1. Place a small amount of starch enough to cover the bottom of a porcelain crucible.
2. Heat gently at first and then more strongly until the bottom of the crucible becomes
red hot.

3. Did the sample melt? _____No___________


bubble?__________ smoke?___Yes____catch fire?
________________
change color?____________give off any color?__________________
leave any residue? ____________________-___

RESULTS:
CONCLUSION:

2. Summarize the general characteristics of carbohydrates.

3. What are the properties and functions of carbohydrates?

4. What are the disorders of carbohydrates?
