Yes, Iodine molecules will diffuse from an area of high concentration (hypertonic solution) to an area of low concentration (hypotonic solution). This process continues until the solutions are isotonic i.e. both solutions have the same concentration of molecules on the inside and outside of the cell.

Can Iodine Potassium Iodine when mixed with a starch diffuse through a semipermeable membrane?

No, iodine potassium iodide mixed with starch cannot diffuse through a semipermeable membrane because the starch molecules are too large to pass through the pores of the membrane. Only smaller molecules like iodine will be able to pass through.


What would happen if you did an experiment in which the iodine solution was placed in the Baggie and the starch was in the beaker?

The iodine solution in the baggie would diffuse into the beaker containing the starch. The iodine molecules would interact with the starch molecules, resulting in the formation of a dark blue or black color, indicating the presence of a starch-iodine complex.


What is it called when iodine diffuses out of a cell?

Osmosis


What happens when you add iodine with water?

When iodine is added to water, it forms a solution where the iodine molecules dissociate, producing a characteristic brown color. This color is due to the interaction of iodine molecules with water molecules.


How does diffusion differ from osmosis?

Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis involves the movement of water to equalize solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane, while diffusion can occur with any type of molecule.


What does the iodine turns into when starch is present?

Iodine turns a blue-black color when starch is present. This is due to the formation of a starch-iodine complex, where the iodine molecules interact with the starch molecules causing the color change.


Describe the bonding in a crystal of iodine?

iodine is made from diatomic iodine molecules,the two iodine atoms are covalently bonded with each other.the iodine molecules have dispersion forces so,the crystal is made from the dispersion forces between the iodine molecule.


What attractive forces must be overcome to sublime iodine?

To sublime iodine, the attractive forces that must be overcome are primarily the van der Waals forces, which are weak intermolecular forces resulting from temporary dipoles induced in the iodine molecules. These forces hold the iodine molecules together in the solid state. During sublimation, sufficient energy is required to break these interactions, allowing the iodine to transition directly from a solid to a gaseous state.


What is the formula of iodine crystals?

Iodine exists as I2. The crystal of iodine is formed simply by the interaction of iodine molecules as a result of Van de Waals forces, which allows for these molecules to bond together to form a solid.


Are water molecules larger than iodine molecules?

No. Iodine molecules are much larger in a molecular scale. This is due to the number of shells (6 shells) that iodine possess, making it an extremely large element, and its existence as I2 in nature makes it even larger. Water is made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom, making it relatively smaller in comparison.


What is characteristics of iodine crystal that make it soluble to water?

Iodine crystals are soluble in water due to the formation of a complex between iodine molecules and water molecules called the I3- ion. This ion increases the solubility of iodine in water by enhancing its ability to dissolve and form a solution. Additionally, the polar nature of water molecules allows them to interact with the polar iodine molecules, facilitating their dissolution.


Why iodine not soluble in water?

Iodine is not soluble in water because the intermolecular forces between iodine molecules (Van der Waals forces) are stronger than the forces between iodine and water molecules. This makes it difficult for iodine to break its solid lattice structure and separate into individual ions or molecules that can interact with water.
