When iodine is heated in a test tube, it sublimates, transitioning directly from a solid to a purple vapor without passing through a liquid phase. This vapor can condense back into solid iodine upon cooling, forming purple crystalline deposits on the cooler parts of the test tube. The characteristic purple color and pungent odor of iodine vapors are also noticeable during the heating process.
What else can I help you with?
When you warm the test tube crystal of iodine what is the result?
it result to the formation of metal sulfates
Why was water used in one tube in starch test?
In a starch test, water is used in one tube as a control to establish a baseline for comparison. This allows researchers to confirm that any color change in the experimental tube, where starch and iodine are present, is due to the presence of starch rather than other factors. The control helps validate the results, ensuring that the observed reaction is specific to starch reacting with iodine.
What is decription of test tube racks?
Test tube racks are commonplace in school science labs and are used routinely to securely hold test tubes or boiling tubes that are being observed or filled.
What happen when a test tube of liquid is heated improperly?
- the test tube may break- the liquid can be spread outside
Starch and idone solution in a test tube what happens?
When starch is mixed with iodine solution in a test tube, a chemical reaction occurs that results in a color change. The iodine interacts with the helical structure of starch molecules, producing a dark blue or blue-black color. This reaction is commonly used as a test for the presence of starch in various substances.
What do you call the purple gas that fills the test tube when a few crystal of iodine is being heated inside a test tube?
This is also iodine, as a gas.
What do you call the purple gas that fills the test tube when a few crystals of iodine is being heated inside a test tube?
The purple gas that forms when heating iodine crystals is called iodine vapor.
What is the purple gas which fills the test tube when heating an iodine?
The purple gas formed when heating solid iodine in a test tube is iodine vapor. Iodine sublimes directly from a solid to a gas when heated, turning into a purple gas that condenses back into solid iodine crystals when cooled.

Add a drop of iodine to both a distilled water test tube and to the test tube containing the starch solution in the test tube What do you observe?
The starch solution will turn black, while the distilled water will remain brown, the same colour as the iodine. This is actually because water, normally used as a control, does not contain any starch and as we know, the iodine test is highly specific for the presence of starch hence no colour change other than iodine dissolving in water to form an iodine solution contrary to starch which we know complexes with iodine, to form starch-iodine complex forming the blue-black colour observed
Is ammonium hydroxide a sublimative substance?
No. Sublimative substances (wow thats a mouthful!) are solids that when heated do not form a liquid but instead vaporise. Ammonium hydroxide cannot be isolated as a solid. It only exists in aqueous solution. An example of a solid that sublimes is Iodine which when heated gently in a test tube produces purple fumes and the dpoits as solid iodine on the cooler sides of the test tube above the heat. If you want a more technical description of sublimation look up sublimation (pahse transition) in Wikipedia
What two things are important to remember when heating a test tube?
First, always point the test tube away from yourself and others to prevent any splattering of hot liquids. Second, use a test tube holder to handle the test tube as it becomes very hot, preventing burns.
What happens to air particles when heated in a test tube?
When air particles in a test tube are heated, they gain kinetic energy and move more rapidly. This increase in movement causes the particles to collide with each other and the walls of the test tube more frequently and with greater force, leading to an increase in pressure if the volume of the test tube remains constant. As a result, the temperature and pressure of the air inside the test tube rise.
What instruments hold test tube being heated?
A retort and clamp or tongs.
What happens to iron placed in a test tube with a stopper?
Iron and oxygen in a test tube alone will not react (observed by placing a piece of iron in a test tube with a stopper).Iron and water in a test tube alone will not react (observed by completely submerging a piece of iron in water in a test tube with a stopper).Iron, water and oxygen in a test tube will react (observed by placing a piece of iron in a test tube and submerging half of it with water). The following reaction will take place: iron + water + oxygen ----> hydrated iron(III) oxide. Hydrated iron(III) oxide is the chemical name for rust, which will appear as orange flaking on the piece of iron. To speed up this reaction you can use a bit of salt as a catalyst.
What happens if ammonium chloride is heated in a test-tube with a long neck?
When ammonium chloride is heated in a test-tube with a long neck, it will sublimate directly from a solid to a gas without melting. The gas will then travel up the long neck of the test tube and may condense back into solid form upon cooling, forming a white crystalline residue at the top of the tube.
