Bread turns blue-black when iodine solution is added due to the presence of starch. The iodine reacts with the starch molecules in the bread, forming a complex that gives this characteristic color change.
When iodine is added to water, it forms a solution where the iodine molecules dissociate, producing a characteristic brown color. This color is due to the interaction of iodine molecules with water molecules.
Starch is composed of amylose and amylopectin, and is not soluble in water due to the presence of amylopectinIodine (I₂) is somewhat soluble in water, but is more soluble in iodide (I⁻) solutions, such as potassium iodide solution (KI).Aqueous iodine molecules (I₂) and iodide ions (I⁻) together will form triiodide ions (I₃⁻), which can react with amylose found in starch to produce a deep-blue colour in the solution. So all of iodide (I⁻), iodine (I₂) and amylose (or starch) are required together to produce the colour.This can be used to test for:Amylose/Starch: Add iodine dissolved in potassium iodide solution to test solution, orIodine: Add starch and potassium iodide solutions to test solution.If the substance being tested for is present, then triiodide ions (I₃⁻) can react with amylose (in starch) to produce a deep-blue colour, that is, a positive result.
To prepare Wijs solution from iodine monochloride vial, weigh a specific amount of the iodine monochloride into a flask, add glacial acetic acid, then add a small amount of iodine crystals and mix well until dissolved. The resulting solution is Wijs solution, which can be used for determining the iodine value of a fatty acid by titration with unsaturated bonds in the fatty acid.
To prepare 0.1 Normal iodine solution, you would need to dissolve 12.7 grams of iodine in 1 liter of a solvent such as water and then adjust the volume accordingly. This solution can be standardized using a thiosulfate solution to verify the normality.

If we add salivary amylase to any solution ( eg:iodine solution) the colour of solution changes to blue.THE TIME TAKEN BY THE SALIVARY AMYLASE TO CHANGE ITS(iodine solution) COLOUR TO BLUE IS CALLED ACROMATIC POINT OF SALIVARY AMYLASE. ie, the time upto which the solution is colourless and after that it gains blue colour.
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
Iodine solution is commonly used to test for starch. If starch is present in a substance (e.g. a leaf which undergone photosynthesis) then the iodien solution would turn blue black. If no starch is present then it remains as light brown.

Oh, dude, the chemical test to confirm the presence of starch is the iodine test. You basically add iodine solution to your sample, and if it turns blue-black, like the color of a midnight sky, then congrats, you've got starch! It's like magic, but with science.

To prepare a 0.1M iodine solution, dissolve 12.7g of iodine (I2) in 1 liter of distilled water. Make sure to handle iodine with care as it can stain and irritate the skin and eyes. Stir the solution until the iodine is completely dissolved.
To identify the presence of starch in Food items; Iodine Test: (specific for starch) Principle: When boiled with water starch molecules form dispersion surfaces having affinity for Iodine molecules. When added, iodine molecules get adsorbed on starch grains producing intense blue colour. Reagent: 1) Iodine solution(2 grams of 12 dissolved in 6% KI) 2) 1% starch solution (Dissolve 1 gram of starch in 100mL of boiling water). Procedure: Take 2mL of food extract or 2mL of starch solution in a test tube and add a few drops of iodine solution to it. Note the change in colour. Result: If a blue black develops then starch is present. Colour due to adsorption.
Blue-black.
To test for the presence of barium in an aqueous solution, you can add a sulfate solution, such as barium sulfate, which will form a white precipitate if barium is present. For iodine, you can add a few drops of starch solution; if iodine is present, it will produce a blue-black color due to the formation of the iodine-starch complex. Both tests should be conducted under controlled conditions to ensure accurate results.
