Why does sea salt turn brown?
Iodine is used to find starch. If no starch is present, a rusty brown color will appear. If starch is present like in bread and potato, the iodine when put on will turn blackish blue. That is known as a chemical reaction. Since there is no starch in water, the iodine in the water stays the same color as it started (brown). Hope that helps!! :)
What color does iodine turn a onion?

What would be the conclusion after testing a leaf for starch?
Starch is produced by leaves during Photosynthesis, therefore if the leaf has not been exposed to light then it will not contain starch, and so when tested the Iodine will stay Yellow/Brown. Consequently if the leaf has been left in the light Photosynthesis will have taken place and when tested the Iodine will go Blue/Black showing that Starch is present. Hope this helps :)
When adding iodine to milk how long does it take to turn purple?

If stained with iodine what color will a banana turn?
BlackAns2:It is very unlikely that a ripe banana will have enough starch to turn iodine black. When iodine turns black, it is a positive test for the presence of starch.
What makes iodine turn purple?

Do you add iodide when testing for starch?

What is the importance of iodine test in enzymes?
The iodine test is used to detect starch (proteins) and enzymes are made up of proteins The Iodine test can be used to see if any of the enzymes are in the product you get after an experiment breaking down a substance with the required enzyme. The iodine will turn black/ blue if starch is present.
