Iodine tests for complex sugars. Glycogen is a complex sugar and will change dark purple when iodine solution is added (color is irrelevant, all you really need to know is that the change to a specific color signifies a presence of a macro molecule)
starch
A deep blue colour
KI is potassium iodide, you'd react it with something to produce iodine ions. It reacts as reducing agent
Acetic acid is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not change. Sodium hydroxide, a base, is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not change.
Iodine is much more soluble in ethanol than in water, so it will usually form a homogeneous mixture. Of course, if you add more solid iodine than will dissolve in your quantity of ethanol at the temperature at which you are working, the excess solid will sink to the bottom. In that case, you have a heterogeneous mixture.
When Iodine is added to amylose, the helical shape of the unbranched polysaccharide traps Iodine molecules, producing a deep blue-black complex. Amylopectin, cellulose, and Glycogen react with iodine to give red to brown colors. Glycogen produces a reddish-purple color.
it will change into blue black colours.
Because Iodine is a brown element.
Yellowish brown.
starch
The role of KI in the preparation of strong iodine solution is to enhance the solubility of iodine crystals in water. Iodine is generally not soluble in water. The KI is added to help the iodine to be dissolved. -College Chemistry professor
it is iodine and potassium iodide solution It's a orange colored solution that consists of Iodine and Potassium Iodide and is used to test a substance for starch. If the color of the solution turns black when put on/in the substance, then the substance is positive for starch.
Lead iodide.
When iodine is added to starch it turns a blackish color due to a chemical reaction.
