What could you say about a substance if it did not turn blue-black with iodine?

While presence of starch is indicated by the bluish-black color change of a substance with the introduction of Iodine, it doesn't necessarily mean the absence of starch is the substance doesn't become blue or black in color. If a substance doesn't become blue or black in color on the application of iodine, it means the substance doesn't form any complex with Iodine. Generally, when a substance creates a complex with Iodine, it is in blue color.


How can physical properties be used to identify substance?

Every substance has certain properties that show things about them, such as odor, taste, malleability, hardness, color, state at room temperature, and melting/boiling point. If you know the color of a substance, it is far easier to determine what that substance is, and if you know the color and the boiling point, your choices are limited even further. Using the physical properties of a substance, you can identify the substance based off of its unique properties or combinations of properties.

What is the substantivity of chlorhexidine?

Substantivity refers to the ability of a substance to adhere to a surface and remain effective over time. Chlorhexidine is known for its high substantivity, allowing it to bind to oral tissues and provide prolonged antimicrobial activity, which helps reduce plaque and gingivitis.

Why Chlorhexidine is used in tootpast and mouthwashes?

Basicaly chlorhexidine is an antibacterial used as a disinfectant and other applications. It is also used in disinfectants (disinfection of the skin and hands). Chlorhexidine is often used as an active ingredient in mouthwash designed to reduce dental plaque and oral bacteria. Chlorhexidine lasts longer in the mouth than other mouthwashes, which is partly why it is to be preferred over other treatments for gums. So that is the reason for chlorhexidine to be used in tootpast and mouthwash.
