Iodine is used to test for starch; when the two are combined a deep bluish-black color is produced. This is a result of the intensely colored I3- ion forming inside the helices of the amylose regions in the starch.

How do you turn iodine crystals into liquid iodine?

You put it in a Freezer with a temperature of 30 degrees Fahrenheit or colde ^The guy who wrote this doesn't have a clue. Sorry to break it to you, but you can't get liquid iodine. (Well, you can. But that's EXTREMELY difficult, and it requires a change in atmospheric pressure.) Iodine's melting point is 113.7 degrees Celsius. This means that if you DO have liquid Iodine, dropping it below 113.7 degrees will cause it to form it's solid. What you probably have is a liquid solution of iodine. This will most probably be potassium Iodide; you'll need something to displace the iodide ion from the solution. This would either mean reacting it with Bromine ions, Chlorine ions, or Fluorine ions. All of these reactions are extremely hazardous, and I do not recommend conducting them yourself. If you need Iodine crystals that badly, I suggest buying them from a chemical store.

What happens when you put three compasses together?
