Why starch is added in iodometric titration?
The color formed by reaction between starch and iodine is much more intense than the color of iodine itself, so that the end point can be determined more sensitively with than without starch.
Will cooked rice turned dark blue with iodine solution?
Yes -cooked rice has starch present which is a natural indicator for Iodine
What compound is identified by the use of iodine?
Amylose in starch is responsible for the formation of a deep blue color in the presence of iodine. The iodine molecule slips inside of the amylose coil. This makes a linear triiodide ion complex with is soluble. The triiodide ion ion slips into the coil of the starch causing an intense blue-black color. Iodine added to a solution or directly on a potato or other materials such as bread, crackers, or flour will produce a blue-black color results if starch is present. If starch amylose is not present, then the color will stay orange or yellow.
Does iodine salt have starch in it?
Iodine salts haven't starch.
What chemical indicator do you use for starch?
Starch is not the indicator. Iodine is the indicator of starch.

Why doesn't iodine give a dark blue color after hydrolysis of starch?
When starch is mixed with iodine in water, an intensely colored starch/iodine complex is formed. Many of the details of the reaction are still unknown. But it seems that the iodine (in the form of I 5- ions) gets stuck in the coils of beta amylose molecules (beta amylose is a soluble starch). The starch forces the iodine atoms into a linear arrangement in the central groove of the amylose coil. There is some transfer of charge between the starch and the iodine. That changes the way electrons are confined, and so, changes spacing of the energy levels. The iodine/starch complex has energy level spacings that are just so for absorbing visible light- giving the complex its intense blue color..
How does starch when mixed with iodine solution turns blue black formula?
Probable a complex beta amylose (a compound from starch)-iodine is formed.
Will cooked rice turned dark blue with iodine solution?
Yes -cooked rice has starch present which is a natural indicator for Iodine
What is the purpose of adding iodine solution to the onion cell?
to check the approximatedly amount of starch in it since starch in reaction with iodine a black purple colour is formed
What is the chermical you test for starch?
Starch has high affinity for Iodine and in presence of iodine crystals starch turns blue from being colourless. This the fundamental that is used for chemically identifying the starch.

Is there a method for detecting starch without using iodine?
if you put iodine in food and it contains starch it should change color.
What would happen if there was no starch in the redox titration?
If you are looking at a iodide to iodine redox titration, the solution would turn yellow instead of blue/black. The blue/black color of the iodine-starch complex is very intense and so the end-point is sharper. Without the starch, the endpoint, when the first yellow from the formation of iodine I2, appears, is less sharp and is harder to see.
How starch can give a negative iodine test?
Starch can give a negative iodine test when starch is mixed with iodine in water. The iodine gets stuck in the coils of beta amylase molecules and the starch forces the iodine atoms into a linear arrangement in the central groove of the coil.
