In a photosynthesis test using a plant like Elodea, the color change of the alcohol indicates the presence of carbon dioxide and the production of sugars. When the plant undergoes photosynthesis, it absorbs carbon dioxide from the water, leading to a decrease in acidity and a change in pH. This change in pH can be detected by a pH indicator in the alcohol, causing it to shift color. The color change thus reflects the plant's photosynthetic activity and the resulting chemical changes in the surrounding environment.
The colour would change to a purple, dark purple colour.
Test for Starch 1. Heat some water to boiling point in a beaker then turn out the Bunsen flame. 2. Use forceps to dip a leaf in the hot water for about 30 seconds. This kills the cytoplasm, dentures the enzymes and makes the leaf more permeable to iodine solution. 3. Push the leaf to the bottom of a test tube and cover it with alcohol (ethanol). Place the tube in the hot water. The alcohol will boil and dissolve out most of the chlorophyll. This makes colour changes with iodine easier to see. 4. Pour the green alcohol into a spare beaker, remove the leaf and dip it once into the hot water to soften it. 5. Spread the decolourized leaf flat on a white tile and drop iodine solution onto it. The parts containing starch will turn blue; parts without starch will stain brown or yellow with iodine
Alcohol does not change the color of red litmus paper because it is not an acid or a base; it is neutral. Red litmus paper remains red when it comes into contact with alcohol. If you need to test for acidity or basicity, you would need to use a solution that has those properties.
the rate of photosynthesis increases as sodium bicarbonate is added to it as long as you stay proportionate to the amount of water in the test tube.

One can test for methanol in alcohol by using a simple chemical test called the chromic acid test. This test involves mixing a small amount of the alcohol with chromic acid and sulfuric acid, and observing the color change. If methanol is present, the solution will turn green.
Yes, alcohol doesn't change a person's genes.
To test for isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol), you can add a few drops of the alcohol to a test tube, then add a few drops of potassium dichromate solution. Warm the mixture gently. A color change from orange to green indicates the presence of isopropyl alcohol.
The test is considered qualitative because you are looking for a negative or a positive test . A example is looking for change of colour in the brilliant green bile broth tubes.
No
Yes, it can test for the presence of alcohol
