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.
What substance does Iodine test for?
carbohydrates, for one
What is test tube rank used for?
A test tube rack is used to hold test tubes so they don't fall over while you're using them.
Add a drop of iodine to both a distilled water test tube and to the test tube containing the starch solution in the test tube What do you observe?
The starch solution will turn black, while the distilled water will remain brown, the same colour as the iodine. This is actually because water, normally used as a control, does not contain any starch and as we know, the iodine test is highly specific for the presence of starch hence no colour change other than iodine dissolving in water to form an iodine solution contrary to starch which we know complexes with iodine, to form starch-iodine complex forming the blue-black colour observed
What reagent is used to test for starch?
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.

What the use of a test tube?
A test tube is usually used to contain small amounts of fluids, usually to react or to hold temporarily. It is also used to clearly observe different reacting samples of chemicals in a experiment which usually call for many test tubes. Heating a test tube is done by a water bath, but usually not direct heat. Also, an inverted test tube can be used for gas collection in a gas emitting reaction by water displacement.
How can you test for starch?
How to test for starch: 1. Add some starch powder to a test tube (or some ground up food that you want to test for starch) 2. Add cold water 3. Boil it to produce a clear solution 4. Once cool, add 3 or 4 drops of iodine solution 5. It'll go dark blue showing that starch is present
