The iodine forms a free radical which oxidizes the oil (reacts with the hydrocarbons in the oil). Most oils contain an antioxidant to counteract this process.

What color is iodine when mixed with water what color is iodine when mixed with mineral oil?

I think it depends on the mixtures. When I mixed a store bought solution of iodine (2.5% iodine and 2.5% potassium iodide) in water it was brown. But when I added heavy mineral oil and mixed them, the mineral oil layer was a brilliant pink/purple colour. Really impressive. NR Pure iodine is violet. It can act as an electron acceptor (an acid). When iodine is in a solvent that doesn't donate electrons it stays violet. When it is in water or ethanol the iodine accepts electrons from the oxygen atom which then affects the wavelength of visible light that it absorbs, this means that the colour changes.


Which of the fat sample has the highest iodine number?

The fat sample with the highest iodine number would be the one with the highest degree of unsaturation, meaning it contains more double bonds. Unsaturated fats are more reactive with iodine, resulting in a higher iodine number.


What is iodine number?

Iodine number is a measure of the relative unsaturation of a substance, typically a fat or oil. It indicates the amount of iodine in grams that can be absorbed by 100 grams of the substance, with higher numbers indicating a higher degree of unsaturation. This value is useful in determining the quality and stability of fats and oils for various industrial and nutritional applications.


How is this number determined?

This number is determined based on a combination of algorithms and data analysis to identify patterns, trends, and relationships within a given context. It may involve calculations, statistical techniques, or machine learning methods to arrive at a specific value or result. The process typically involves inputting relevant data, applying the appropriate analytical tools, and interpreting the findings to derive the final number.
