You will find out if a sample of protein loses mass after immersion in the juice. • Label four pieces of paper towel 1, 2, 3 and 4. • Put four large test-tubes into a test-tube rack or beaker. Label them 1, 2, 3 and 4. • Divide the solid protein into four pieces, each about the same size. • Weigh the first piece of protein and record the mass in Table 1.1. • Cut this piece of protein into approximately 10 pieces. Put the pieces into the tube 1. • Treat the remaining three pieces of protein in the same way for tubes 2, 3 and 4. Table 1.1 test-tube number 1 2 3 4 mass of protein / g type of juice • Measure 20 cm3 of juice 1 and add this to tube 1. Record the type of fruit juice in Table 1.1. • Add 20 cm3 of juice 2 to tube 2, recording the type of fruit juice in Table 1.1. • Repeat this with the remaining two fruit juices, juice 3 and juice 4. [2] (ii) Using the hot water provided make a water bath with a temperature of 50 ºC in a large beaker. Stand all four tubes in this for 10 minutes. Monitor the temperature during this time. If the temperature falls below 40 ºC add more hot water to keep the temperature between 40 ºC and 50 ºC. During this time create a table for the results of the four tubes. This should include the type of juice, the mass of protein at the start, the mass of protein at the end, and the change in mass. [2]

Place all the pieces of protein on towel no. 1 and blot the protein dry. • Weigh all the pieces of protein together and record the mass in the table you have made. • Repeat this with the protein in tubes 2, 3 and 4. Calculate the change in mass for the protein from each tube and enter in your table. [4] (c) Which fruit juice showed the greatest protease activity? Explain your answer. fruit juice explanation [2] (d) Suggest a suitable control for the experiment and explain your answer. control explanation [2] (e) At least one of the juices you were given is known to be acidic. Design an experiment to find if the loss in mass could have been due to acid present in the fruit juice rather than the protease. [3]

(a) (i) Place the semi-circular block on the grid, Fig. 2.3, with its curved edge downwards as shown in Fig. 2.1. glass block grid Fig. 2.1 Look through the flat side of the block at the grid (see Fig. 2.2). Place a ruler alongside the top edge of the grid and measure the length of the clear image of the grid, d1, that you can see in the block. Do not count the number of grid marks. d1 d2 grid glass block Fig. 2.2 Fig. 2.3 Record the length d1. d1 = mm [1]

This is the refractive index of the block. [1] 1 2 d d = (b) (i) Now place the semi-circular block on a piece of plain paper and draw round it. Remove the block; mark the centre point of the flat side. Draw a normal at this point and construct incident rays with incident angles, i, of 0°, 10°, 20°, 30° and 40° as shown in Fig. 2.4. normal refracted ray 0 10 20 30 40 10° i r ° incident rays Fig. 2.4 • Replace the block on the paper. • Place 2 pins about 4 cm apart on the incident ray you have drawn with an angle, i = 10°. • Look through the block from the other side and place 2 more pins (on the refracted ray) in line with the pins on the incident ray. • Remove the block, draw the refracted ray and measure the angle of refraction, r°. Record the value of r° in Table 2.1. • Repeat the procedure with the other incident rays to find the other angles of refraction.

Record your observations in Table 3.1. • Repeat the test using solutions B, C and D, using a fresh test-tube for each solution. • Complete Table 3.1 to show your conclusion for each test and the two possible identities for each solution.
