Why you use starch as indicator in iodometric titration?
Because starch forms a dark blue colored soluble product with free iodine, so that the appearance of color in the solution from this reaction effectively shows when all the substances in the solution that react more strongly with iodine than does starch have been consumed and the titration is finished.
Why table salt is called iodised salt?
It's called iodised salt when a little bit of iodine has been added to it. Iodine is good for your thyroid gland, that's why.
Is it necessary to have iodine in life?
Yes, in humans at least. Iodine is an essential element, meaning we must consume it in our diet. We need iodine for our thyroid gland to work properly, but you shouldn't worry about becoming deficient in iodine since in most counties iodine has been added to table salt since the 1920's.
When just enough acid has been added to neutralize the sodium hydroxide what colour will the indicator be?
Green
Is iodized and iodide the same?
The term iodized (said usually about table salt) means that an iodine compound has been added. This is usually sodium iodide or potassium iodide, meaning the combination of sodium (or potassium) and iodine into an ionic compound.
What observations do you need to expect if starch is present when testing leaf for starch?
It can be observed that when testing for starch their must be a olour change of blue black after iodine solution was added.Before the colour change was green that changed to blue black of the whole procedure is been carried out.
Why staining with iodine white cloth was brown while light green coloured shirt was blue black?
Starch would have been present on the light green shirt that reacted with the iodine forming a blue black colour.
What is achromic point?
The point in time during the action of amylase on starch at which the reaction mixture no longer gives a colour with iodine, i.e. the reaction has proceeded to the point when the starch has all been degraded at least as far as achröodextrins.
How long did the starch react with achromatic point?
Achromatic means "without color." During a hydrolysis test, starch auger is used to grow bacteria. An iodine reagent is used to flood the plate. The starch is dyed a blue-brown color. Areas where the starch has been completely digested by the bacteria, are clear. That is known as the achromatic point, or the point at which all the starch has been consumed and the iodine does not dye the auger.
What happens when iodine reacts with starch that has been digested with amylase?
When iodine is added to an amylaze enzyme activity in an experiment such as a agar plate with wells, it does two things. When tested with starch, the color of the liquid will turn a brownish-yellowish color meaning that enzyme reactions had occured. Also on a well agar plate the idione will repel in a circle around the well. most of the time around 2 cm in diameter.

What is iodine use for?
Iodine is used to form iodine form which is used as an antiseptic. Also, Iodine is used in many household cleaning products. As well as in many thyroid medications in order to treat or control Thyroid disease/disorder (such as hyperthyroidism)Iodine can also be used to test food for starch. After it has been added it changes the color of the food item to black or brown.A small amount of sodium iodide salt is added to table salt to make iodized salt.Iodine, in a felttip pen, is used to test for counterfeit paper money.
How can an iodine stain be used to distinguish between ripe and unripe fruit?
If you add Iodine-KI reagent to foods containing - starch such as bread, potato, crackers, or flour. A blue-black color results.If starch is not present, then the color will stay orange or yellow. (Iodine will not turn blue-black on contact with cellulose or disaccharides such as sucrose in sugar).Thus if you apply Iodine to an unripe fruit (where the sugars are still held as starch) the fruit will turn Blue-Black.However, once the fruit is ripe and the starch has been transformed into sweet sugar, the application of Iodine will only stain the fruit orange or yellow.
What is iodized?
Iodized means that iodine has been added to something. It is usually seen in table salt.
Why table salt is called iodised salt?
It's called iodised salt when a little bit of iodine has been added to it. Iodine is good for your thyroid gland, that's why.
What would be the conclusion after testing a leaf for starch?
Starch is produced by leaves during Photosynthesis, therefore if the leaf has not been exposed to light then it will not contain starch, and so when tested the Iodine will stay Yellow/Brown. Consequently if the leaf has been left in the light Photosynthesis will have taken place and when tested the Iodine will go Blue/Black showing that Starch is present. Hope this helps :)
