IntorductionThere are a lot of ways to determine the
glucose concentration of a solution…These include the use of special
indicators, titration, or osmosisBut for this particular experiment, a
different protocol has been used.
HOW DID WE DO IT??!! :O :O :O
Preparation of Solutions100mL of 1 M of sulfuric acid125 mL of 0.0025316 M of Potassium
permanganateGlucose solution (1%, 2%, 4%, 8%)Potato Solution (approximately 0.5 g of crushed
potato in 50mL of water)
Preparation of Solutions

Glucose and Potato SolutionsFive milliliters of sulfric acid was added using
syringeAfter adding sulfuric acid, two milliliters of
potassium permanganate was added (syringe)Time was recorded right after potassium
permanganate was added until color disappears from solution
