Test of the Water Around Each Bag

Water Around Protein Bag --> Tested Negative for Protein by Using Biuret

Water Around Dextrose Bag --> Tested Positive for Sugar by Using Benedict

Water Around Starch Bag --> Tested Negative for Starch by Using IKI

Conclusion

Dextrose is the only substance that left the bag when placed in water as shown by the Benedict test. But, water also must have entered the dextrose bag because the bag still weighed the same even after being placed in water.
