Mercuric iodide is added to starch indicator preparation to enhance its sensitivity and specificity in detecting the presence of iodine. Mercuric iodide forms a complex with iodine, which results in a more distinct color change when iodine is present in the solution being tested. This makes it easier to visually determine the endpoint of a titration or the presence of iodine in a sample. Additionally, mercuric iodide helps stabilize the indicator solution, prolonging its shelf life and maintaining its effectiveness over time.
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.
Starch is not the indicator. Iodine is the indicator of starch.
Chlorine gas turns moist starch iodide paper blue-black.
Iodine is an indicator for starch. The reaction between iodine and starch causes a color change from brown/orange to blue/black.
weee
it is used to indicate acidic radicals which reacts with the iodide solution.
Starch is a complexometric indicator.

Chlorine gas reacts with the potassium iodide in the moist starch iodide paper to produce potassium chloride and iodine. The iodine then reacts with the starch in the paper to form a blue complex. This color change is used as a test for the presence of chlorine gas.
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
Starch indicator solution will remain its original color (usually colorless) in the absence of starch. Without starch present, there will be no color change observed when using starch indicator solution.
Chlorine gas turns moist starch iodide paper blue-black.
indicator help us find out find out which molecules diffused and which didn't.... for example: starch indicator indicate starch......and.......glucose indicator indicate glucose.
preparation of modified tapioca starch using glycerol?
Iodine is an indicator for starch. The reaction between iodine and starch causes a color change from brown/orange to blue/black.
When silver nitrate is mixed with a starch and water solution, a complex forms known as the silver-starch complex. This results in a blue-black coloration, which can be used as a chemical indicator for the presence of iodide ions in the solution.
