Iodine Test for Starch Introduction and Hypothesis: In this experiment‚ we used iodine to test for starch in certain solutions. Iodine separates starch from polysaccharides‚ monosaccharides‚ and disaccharides. Starch is a curled polymer of glucose and iodine interacts with molecules‚ which changes the color of the molecules to a kind of black color. Iodine does not respond with carbohydrates that are not curled or coiled‚ thus the color stays yellowish brown. A black color result means that starch

to use Iodine‚ Benedict and Biuret to test the reaction of the following 12 samples: 1% glucose‚ 0.3% glucose-1-phosphate‚ 1% maltose‚ honey‚ 1% sucrose‚ 1%lactose‚ 1% glycogen‚ 1% starch‚ protein‚ beer‚ distilled water and an unknown solution (test tube: 300). The iodine test for starch was to test how would starch reacted if we put iodine in it. The color of starch before the test was clear. The color of the iodine was brown. When you added iodine into starch‚ the result was the starch solution
Free Glucose Protein Amino acid
Proteins Purpose: To test for the presence of starches and protein macromolecules‚ to introduce the concept of variations in chemical compounds. Hypothesis: If biuret is blue after a test for protein‚ then it is a negative result because biuret reagent is blue to begin with. If a solution is pinkish purple‚ or purple‚ then the test for protein is positive. The test solution for starches is yellowish brown. If any substance that is yellowish brown when mixed with iodine‚ then the test for starches is

salivary amylase with strong and weak starch mixtures to break down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars. This lab was conducted to physically see the breakdown of carbohydrates into simpler sugars (glucose‚ fructose‚ galactose) using the salivary amylase enzyme. This is extremely important to all metabolic functions in the human digestive system. It is found that benedict’s solution‚ when heated makes a yellow-orange colour to indicate the simple sugars. Iodine is the indicator of a complex carbohydrate

Lab : Iodine-starch Clock Reaction Pre-lab: Before the lab was conducted‚ the concentration of the Iodate ions to be in the mixture made by dissolving specific volumes of solution A with a constant concentration and water was calculated using the dissolution formula: C1V1 = C2V2 Sample Calculation 1: Concentration of the Iodate ions: For mixture 1: C2 = C1V1/ V2 = (0.020mol/L) x (0.003L)/(0.01L) = 0.006mol/L The same calculations were used in the calculating of the

different test were conducted. Each test consists of chemicals to be tested using 3 to 10 drops of the additive in order to observe a change. With any experiment you compose a hypothesis; where you make an educated guess. The hypothesis will primarily be‚ which base chemical will produce the greatest change based on the additive. Experiment 6.1 (Starch) when adding the three drops of Iodine to each tube observe the color change. When performing this test the chemical with the larger amount of iodine will

Iodine Isotopes are the atoms that have in their nucleus an atomic number corresponding to the chemical behavior of that element. Since isotopes have the same number of protons‚ they all have identical chemical behavior. But‚ however‚ since their neutron numbers are different the isotopes of the same element may have different radioactivity. An isotope that is radioactive is called a radioisotope like iodine‚ which is important in our health. In radioactivity‚ the nucleus of an unstable isotope

Biosynthesis of Starch Introduction: In this lab we learned the concept and procedure of synthesizing starch. We also learned the effects of pH and temperature on the reaction rates of amylase.. In the process of the synthesis lab we learned phosphorylation using a potato‚ which was what we synthesized. The phosphorylation took place after the addition of primer. There are two different types of starches used are amylose and amylopectin. To test for the presence of starch‚ the Starch Test is used.
