What is the function of starch solution in the redox titration?

It is used as indicator for the endpoint of a Iodometric (redox) titration: it gives a bluish grey to black color with very minute excess of Iodine-iodide ions (I3-)


What chemical indicator do you use for starch?

Starch is not the indicator. Iodine is the indicator of starch.


How does litmus in the litmus milk act as a redox indicator?

Litmus milk medium is skim milk to which the dye litmus has been added. Litmus is both a pH indicator and a redox indicator. It is pink at pH < 4.5, purple in middle pH's and blue at pH > 8.3. As a redox dye, in the absence of oxygen (reduced state) it's colorless (white due to milk) and in the presence of oxygen (oxidized state) it is purple.


Why starch is used as indicator in iodometric titration?

Starch is not used in order to do this. This is because starch is able to form a complex along with the iodine and this is the indicator.


What is the role of the indicator?

indicator help us find out find out which molecules diffused and which didn't.... for example: starch indicator indicate starch......and.......glucose indicator indicate glucose.


What color does the indicator turn when starch is present?

Iodine is used to indicate whether starch is present in a solution. If starch IS present, the indicator will turn dark blue/black. Iodine is used to indicate whether starch is present in a solution. If starch IS present, the indicator will turn dark blue/black. FOR WHAT PURPOSE WE USE STARCH-IODINE INDICATOR PAPER


What is iodine an indicator for?

Starch.

Why is an indicator not used in a redox titration?

Because the endpoints are easily observed.


Why you add mercuric iodide in starch indicator preparation?

It gives an obvious color change. It's preparation is simple and easy plus it's not harmful or hazardous. When starch is mixed with iodine in water, an intensely colored starch/iodine complex is formed. The complex is very useful for indicating redox titrations that involve iodine because the color change is very sharp. It can also be used as a general redox indicator: when there is excess oxidizing agent, the complex is blue; when there is excess reducing agent the color disappears.
