What does iodine solution test for?
For starch, which will give a deep blue-black color.
What does iodine solution indicate?
Indicates that there is starch in the solution. One can be sure if the solution changes to a dark-purplish color.
What does lugol's iodine?
it is iodine and potassium iodide solution It's a orange colored solution that consists of Iodine and Potassium Iodide and is used to test a substance for starch. If the color of the solution turns black when put on/in the substance, then the substance is positive for starch.
What makes iodine turn purple?
when iodine is added to a substance it turns dark blue when starch is present, and remains brown when starch is not present. This is basically because iodine forms a polypeptide complex with starch, resulting in the dark blue solution.
Why does iodine change its colour?
This phenomena depends upon the what is tested. iodine test usually gives a positive result of blue color for starch. The blue color is caused by the trapping of the iodine inside the structure of the starch (note that starch is a polyssacharide that has a helical structure). It is only with starch that this happens cause starch has the only one with a helical structure. Now your question is why is it that the color disappears when heated, right? This is because the heat causes an unwinding of the helical structure of starch releasing the trapped iodine making the solution colorless. However, if cooled, with no heat present, the starch structure becomes helical once more trapping the iodine returning the blue colored solution. this is just what i learned from my Biochemistry class, hope it helps!!
What color develops when iodine solution is added to starch solution?
Yellowish brown.
What is the chemical used to test for the presence of starch?
The chemical used to test for the presence of starch is iodine.
Is there a method for detecting starch without using iodine?
if you put iodine in food and it contains starch it should change color.

What two solutions produce a blue-black color?
When iodine solution is mixed with starch solution they produce blue-black color.
What color would you see if iodine solution is added to starch?
A deep blue colour
Which indicator would you use to test starches?
weee
Why isn't starch present when colour is light brown?
The Iodine test uses Iodine solution, which is usually a brown colour. It is used to test for the presence of Starch. Iodine solution, iodine dissolved in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide, reacts with starch producing a blue black color. If the sample being tested doesn't turn blue-black, then starch isn't present.
How did the iodine solution affect the image the onion cells?
there will be change in the color for iodine into blue,black because of the presence of starch in it.
