Chlorine gas oxidizes some of the iodide ions in the paper to create iodine diatomic molecules. These molecules react with the iodide ions and the starch to form a charge-transfer complex, which has a striking blue color. It is thought that linear I3- and I5- ions occupy the center of the helix structure in the starch. These ions are formed by the reaction of molecular iodine with iodide ions.
Chlorine gas
When concentrated Hydrogen chloride acid is made to react with Copper(II)Oxide, Copper Chloride is formed with the evolution of a greenish yellow pungent gas called chlorine(Cl 2).The chlorine gas formed turns moist starch iodide paper blue black.turns blue litmus red and finally decolourizes it. Copper oxide used here is black in color.
The color become intense blue.
Starch is composed of amylose and amylopectin, and is not soluble in water due to the presence of amylopectinIodine (I₂) is somewhat soluble in water, but is more soluble in iodide (I⁻) solutions, such as potassium iodide solution (KI).Aqueous iodine molecules (I₂) and iodide ions (I⁻) together will form triiodide ions (I₃⁻), which can react with amylose found in starch to produce a deep-blue colour in the solution. So all of iodide (I⁻), iodine (I₂) and amylose (or starch) are required together to produce the colour.This can be used to test for:Amylose/Starch: Add iodine dissolved in potassium iodide solution to test solution, orIodine: Add starch and potassium iodide solutions to test solution.If the substance being tested for is present, then triiodide ions (I₃⁻) can react with amylose (in starch) to produce a deep-blue colour, that is, a positive result.
yes amylose yields a blue color and amylopectin yields a purple color
Chlorine oxidises Iodide to Iodine, which shows up as blue when complexed with starch.
Chlorine gas
Use 'I2 + KI ' solution: 0.1% 'Iodine-Iodide' turns purple blue with starch, very sensitive test!

Testing with indicator paperstrip: Iodide-Starch gets blue
The color become intense blue.

Iodine potassium iodide (I2KI)
The reagent that is used to test for starch is a mixture of iodine and potassium iodide in water, or an Iodine - KI reagent. If the reagent turns blue-black in color, then starch is present.
An excellent test for starch is to test it with iodine in a solution of potassium iodide. Any starch present will turn a distinctive blue-black color.The color is in fact produced by the amylose in starch. Branched chains (amylopectin) do not give this result.
Testing for Iodide, I-Sodium iodide, NaI, is the source of iodide anion for this experiment.Reaction with bleach involves three steps. The brown color shows the presence of I3- ions.Hypochlorite ion yields chlorine:OCl- (aq) + Cl- (aq) + H2OCl2 (aq) + 2 OH-Chlorine reacts with iodide anion:Cl2 (aq) + 2 I- (aq)I2 (aq) + 2 Cl- (aq)Triiodide ion is formed:I2 (aq) + I- (aq) I3- (aq)Starch reacts with iodine and iodide to form a characteristic blue/black complex. A corn starch packing peanut is shown here.Silver ion reacts with iodide to form silver iodide, AgI.Ag+ (aq) + I- (aq) AgI (s)Reaction of iodide with sulfuric acid produces hydrogen sulfide gas and brown triiodide solution in a series of reactions:I- (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) HI (aq) + HSO4- (aq)8 HI + H2SO4 (aq) H2S (g) + 4 I2 (aq) + 4 H2OI2 (aq) + I- (aq) I3- (aq)Again, starch is used to confirm the presence of iodine and iodide.
yes amylose yields a blue color and amylopectin yields a purple color
