Yes
I can't remember how though...

The iodine test is used to test for the presence of starch. Iodine solution interacts with the starch molecules, causing a color change from brownish-yellow to blue or black.
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.
When iodine is added to a starch solution, the iodine molecules will interact with the starch molecules through a process called iodine-starch complex formation. This complex leads to a characteristic color change from the initial colorless solution to a dark blue-black color, indicating the presence of starch in the solution.
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.
Yes, starch molecules are generally larger than protein molecules. Starch is a polysaccharide made up of many glucose molecules linked together, while proteins are composed of amino acids linked in chains. This difference in molecular structure contributes to the varying sizes of the molecules.
The starch iodine complex is formed through the process of iodine molecules inserting themselves in the helical structure of starch molecules, forming a blue complex. This complex formation is due to the ability of the iodine molecule to fit into the helical structure of the starch molecule, causing a shift in the electron density and resulting in a change in color.
Iodine turns a blue-black color when starch is present. This is due to the formation of a starch-iodine complex, where the iodine molecules interact with the starch molecules causing the color change.
Okay, let's define our terms here. By "salt" I assume you mean table salt, sodium chloride.It doesn't really exist as "molecules" since it's ionic.Complicating things even further, "starch" is a polymer/oligomer, and the size of its molecules varies considerably.However, one formula unit of sodium chloride is much much smaller than even a small molecule of starch.
Iodine forms a complex with the helical structure of starch, causing a color change to blue or black. This occurs due to the formation of inclusion compounds where iodine molecules fit into the spaces between glucose units in the starch molecule.
The iodine test is based on the reaction between iodine and starch. Iodine molecules interact with the helical structure of starch molecules to form a blue-black complex. This color change indicates the presence of starch in a solution.
The intense blue color formed in the iodine test for starch is due to the formation of a starch-iodine complex. This complex is formed when iodine molecules interact with the helical structure of starch molecules, resulting in a blue color.
The iodine solution in the baggie would diffuse into the beaker containing the starch. The iodine molecules would interact with the starch molecules, resulting in the formation of a dark blue or black color, indicating the presence of a starch-iodine complex.
Iodine reacts with starch to form a dark blue or purple complex. This reaction is used as a test to detect the presence of starch in a substance. The blue color is a result of iodine molecules getting trapped within the helical structure of starch molecules.
Starch can give a negative iodine test when starch is mixed with iodine in water. The iodine gets stuck in the coils of beta amylase molecules and the starch forces the iodine atoms into a linear arrangement in the central groove of the coil.
When iodine test is negative with starch, it means that there is no color change observed. This is because starch molecules do not react with iodine in the absence of amylose, which is the component of starch that forms a blue complex with iodine. Therefore, the absence of amylose in the sample results in a negative iodine test with starch.
When iodine reacts with starch, it forms a complex known as the starch-iodine complex. This complex results in a deep blue or purple color, which is easily visible. The color change occurs due to the way iodine molecules interact and bond with the long chains of glucose molecules in the starch structure.
When iodine is added to a solution containing starch, it forms a starch-iodine complex in which the iodine molecules are trapped within the helical structure of the starch. This complex absorbs light differently than free iodine, resulting in a color change from yellow-brown (free iodine) to blue-black (starch-iodine complex).
