When iodine is added to a starch solution, the iodine molecules will interact with the starch molecules through a process called iodine-starch complex formation. This complex leads to a characteristic color change from the initial colorless solution to a dark blue-black color, indicating the presence of starch in the solution.
On a molecular level, iodine does not affect starch, but there is a colour change, from yellow to blue-black.
when iodine is mixed to a starch solution it will instantly turn partially black with the rest being a darker yellow color.
As you know that iodine act as indicator for testing of starch so when a drop of iodine is added to starch it turns bluish black but when added to distilled water nothing happens except the colour of water which turns brown and its is the colour of iodine.
When an indicator such as iodine is added to a solution containing starch, a blue-black color change occurs. This reaction is commonly used to detect the presence of starch, as the blue-black color is characteristic of this complex formed between the starch and iodine molecules.
Iodine is commonly used to test for the presence of starch. When iodine is added to a sample containing starch, it will turn from its normal amber color to a blue-black color.
The presence of starch is indicated by a blue-black color when iodine solution is added.
Oh, dude, the chemical test to confirm the presence of starch is the iodine test. You basically add iodine solution to your sample, and if it turns blue-black, like the color of a midnight sky, then congrats, you've got starch! It's like magic, but with science.
