Theoretically, distilled water should test negative for just about everything but wetness!

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.
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
Which has a higher water potential red blood cells or water?
Distilled water would have a higher water potential than a red blood cell because the formula for obtaining water potential is -iCRT, where i=ionization constant, C=molar concentration, R=pressure constant--usually 0.0831 liter bars/mole K, and T=temperature in Kelvins. Since distilled has a molar concentration of 0, the water potential would be 0. And a red blood cell would have a negative water potential because it does have some sort of molar concentration. Thus, distilled water would have a higher water potential because 0 is greater than a negative number. As a note, water always flows from areas of higher water potential to areas of lower water potential. Therefore, it is easy to imagine that water flows toward more concentrated solutions, meaning it would flow to the red blood cell. If distilled water flows to the red blood cell, then it must have a higher water potential than the red blood cell.
What do you add to starch to make glucose?
You would add water through a hydrolysis reaction to reverse the condensation reaction (dehydration synthesis) that you started with to form the starch into a polysaccharide. All in all, you would just add WATER.
What happens if you put wilted celery in distilled water?
Distilled water is a hypotonic solution. Due to diffusion, water wants to go into the cell to reach equilibrium. Whereas, a salt water solution (hypertonic) would make the water leave the cell. So, if you put "wilted celery in distilled water" then water would diffuse into the piece of celery; making it become harder.
How can you tell if glucose starch water and iodine passes through the cell membrane?
place starch solution inside the partially permeable membrane and than partially submerge it a beaker filled with distilled water. after some time, take the tubing out and test the water inside the beaker for starch by adding iodine solution. if the tubing is permeable to starch, the starch would have diffused into the water in the beaker and test positive for starch and turn dark blue. if not, then the water in the beaker would test negative for starch and remain a yellowish brown solution.
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 are the contents of starch agar?
:D Beef extract (3.0g) Soluble Starch (10.0) Agar (12.0) Distilled water (1,000.0 ml)
Does distilled water contain glucose?
Distilled water is close to pure water, and if it was distilled in a clean environment it would be pure water. Thus no, it would not have maltose ( a sugar) in it.
When growing sugar crystals in tap water or distilled water how would you start your variable?
distilled water
What does it mean to say distilled water is neutral?
It carries neither a positive or negative charge.
What are the positive and negative ions for distilled water?
H3O+ and OH-
Distilled water does not contain any of the organic compounds. What might any positive results with distilled water indicated?
Distilled water is when it is just h2o, any positive results would man that it was not/is not distilled.

How do you prepare rainwater to distilled water?
If you want to make distilled water from rainwater, you would perform distillation on the rainwater.
How starch can give a negative iodine test?
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.
Distilled water pure substance?
You may regard distilled water as a pure substance. Common salt would be another, as would refined sugar.
