What color does the indicator turn when starch is present?

Iodine is used to indicate whether starch is present in a solution. If starch IS present, the indicator will turn dark blue/black. Iodine is used to indicate whether starch is present in a solution. If starch IS present, the indicator will turn dark blue/black. FOR WHAT PURPOSE WE USE STARCH-IODINE INDICATOR PAPER


What will happen if you pour starch indicator solution into the cell and filled the beaker with starch and glucose solution?

The starch indicator solution will diffuse out of the bag (cell) into the beaker, changing the color of the starch solution to a blue, purple, or black color (assuming that it's iodine). The color of the indicator solution inside the bag will not change, because only the glucose can diffuse into the bag, but the starch cannot diffuse into the bag.


What color occurs when the indicator is added and starch is added?

When an indicator such as iodine is added to a solution containing starch, a blue-black color change occurs. This reaction is commonly used to detect the presence of starch, as the blue-black color is characteristic of this complex formed between the starch and iodine molecules.


How does Lugol's solution work as an indicator?

An indicator is a substance that changes colour in the presence of another substance. Let say inside the beaker are substances of both glucose and starch. The glucose and starch are of same colour. By injecting the lugol's solution into the beaker, the lugol's solution changes colour in the area of where starch is, while no colour changes in the presence of glucose. Thus, by using the Lugol's solution which only acts as indicator for starch and not glucose, we could tell part which area floats around with glucose and starch substances. Lugol's solution works as an indicator because it will stain starches due to iodine's interaction with the coil structure of the polysaccharide.


What happens when iodine is added to starch and distilled water?

As you know that iodine act as indicator for testing of starch so when a drop of iodine is added to starch it turns bluish black but when added to distilled water nothing happens except the colour of water which turns brown and its is the colour of iodine.

What is iodine used as an indicator for?

Iodine is used as an indicator for starch. When a substance has iodine added to it, then it will turn into a dark blue color. This is a sign that the substance indeed has starch in it.
