It stains the cell, making it easier to observe under microscope.
Iodine itself does not prevent salt from caking; rather, anti-caking agents are typically added to table salt to reduce moisture absorption and clumping. Common anti-caking agents include calcium silicate or magnesium carbonate, which help keep the salt granules free-flowing. While iodine is added to salt for nutritional purposes, it is the anti-caking agents that ensure the salt remains pourable. Therefore, the presence of iodine does not directly influence the caking of salt.
The organic compound that reacts with iodine in a starch solution is amylose, which is a polysaccharide and a component of starch. When iodine is added to a starch solution, it forms a blue-black complex with the amylose present in the solution.
Iodine in Czapek Dox agar is added as a source of iodine for microbial growth. It is essential for the growth of certain fungi that require iodine for metabolic processes.
The independent variable in this experiment is the amount of table salt added to the boiling water. The effect of adding salt to the water is to raise the boiling point of the water, therefore increasing the temperature at which the water boils.
Iodine does not directly react with acids. However, when iodine is added to an acid solution, it can form hypoiodous acid (HOI) which is a weak acid. This reaction can be used in analytical chemistry to detect the presence of iodine.
I did this lab experiment in my biology class. When Lugol's indicator is added to glucose, it turns to a dark green colour for starch it turns black and for surcose it turns yellow.
the color of the leaf become brown-black after the iodine solution was added.
It stains the cell, making it easier to observe under microscope.
No. Food coloring is simply added for visual effect.
I did this experiment and after a while the onion cell became incredibly easier to see.
Iodine is added into bacteria so that you can get a clear image when you are looking into the microscope.
No, salt is mainly Sodium. Iodine is added to salt to prevent iodine deficiency.
Goiter is a problem with the thyroid gland, most commonly caused by an iodine-deficiency disease. You can prevent or cure it by eating seafoods which are rich in iodine, or by using iodized table salt.
Who suggested that iodine could be added to salt
Iodine can be used to detect the presence of unsaturation in fats. When added to a sample of saturated fat, there will be no change in color as iodine does not react with the double bonds present in unsaturated fats.
Tincture of iodine is added to iodine to make it more stable and easier to use. The tincture helps control the release of iodine and improves its shelf life.
