What happens when Iodine is added to cooked rice?

When iodine is added to cooked rice, a color change will occur if starch is present in the rice. The iodine will turn from yellow-brown to blue-black if starch is detected, indicating the presence of carbohydrates in the rice. This is because iodine interacts with the starch molecules in the rice, causing the color change.


What happens if you put copper metal into a solution of aluminum sulfate?

Nothing will happen. Displacement reaction only happens when the element is more reactive than the salt solution. An example will be the otherwise. If you put aluminum metal into a solution of Copper (II) Sulfate. The aluminum metal will displace copper metal and you will have a solution of Aluminum Sulfate and copper metal. As long the element you put into the salt solution is more reactive than the cation of the solution, it will displace the metal.

How do you test something for starch in biology?

You often test something for starch using Iodine. For example, if you have a piece of potato and you put a tiny bit of Iodine on the sample, if it goes orange, then you know that the potato has starch, however if it remains purple, then that means there is no starch in the sample. May I recommend a wikipedia article for more indepth information on the testing of starch. Plants store the glucose for starch. If you put some Iodine Solution on a piece of bread or pasta or some crisps. If it contains strach it will turn black. Plants should have the same reaction. For plants you put the leaf in boiling water. You then put it in some Ethanol. Then put in boiling water. Wash the leaf with water. Cover in Iodine solution. Wait for a few minutes then come back. It should be black if it contains starch.
