Want this question answered?
I did this experiment and after a while the onion cell became incredibly easier to see.
This is because there was no more starch left so the mixture stopped turning the drops of Iodine Solution blue after 240 s.
why did the mixturestop turning the drops of iodine solution blue after 240 s
Because it didn't react with the iodine, i don't know
Straight iodine in the eyes causes tremendous stinging. I would say to dilute it.
If you add iodine to starch the start will turn to a dark color blue/blk because of the enzyne Amylase (in starch), so if it is non starch there will not be a reaction and it will be clear.
put a few drops of iodine on the subject, if it turns purple theres 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.

It is simply called the Starch test which is the process of testing something for the presence of starch. Add Iodine solution to whatever is it you're testing and a dark blue/black color indicates the presence of starch

The Starch-Iodide complex is not very soluble in water, so the starch is added near the endpoint of an Iodine titration, when the Iodine concentration is low. This eliminates errors due to the fact that some Iodine may remain adsorbed on the complex and go undetected. so if you add the starch indicator only right near the end point when the solution is a light yellow colour the starch shouldn't complex and go lumpy.
To identify the presence of starch in Food items; Iodine Test: (specific for starch) Principle: When boiled with water starch molecules form dispersion surfaces having affinity for Iodine molecules. When added, iodine molecules get adsorbed on starch grains producing intense blue colour. Reagent: 1) Iodine solution(2 grams of 12 dissolved in 6% KI) 2) 1% starch solution (Dissolve 1 gram of starch in 100mL of boiling water). Procedure: Take 2mL of food extract or 2mL of starch solution in a test tube and add a few drops of iodine solution to it. Note the change in colour. Result: If a blue black develops then starch is present. Colour due to adsorption.
1. Place a small amount of starch powder in a test tube filled with cold water 2. Boil it to make a clear solution 3. Once the solution has cooled off, you should put 3 or 4 drops of iodine solution in it. 4. The solution should turn dark blue.
Iodine test is a test used to determine the presence of starch in a particular substance.A positive result will yield a black color.For example, adding a few drops of iodine solution to potato will stain the amylocytes black since these are the starch-containing structures of potatoes as seen in a microscope.
A chemical test for starch is to add iodine solution (yellow/brown) and look for a colour change.
