- Starch reacts with iodine in presence of iodide to form a blue complex. This is a very sensitive colour reaction.But starch forms a water insoluble complex with iodine. Hence the indicator is added only at the very end of the reaction when the colour of the iodide solution fades to pale yellow.
“Chemistry Experiments” is a guide for students and teachers who look for various experiments in chemistry. I will be mainly focusing on chemical, fertilizers, water, effluent, latex, dry rubber testing in my latest blog. I hope these experiments will definitely help students & teachers. Please mail me if you all need any further assistance or help in any of these tests.
