<h3>What is starch ?</h3>

A polymeric carbohydrate called starch, also known as amylum, is made up of a lot of glucose units connected by glycosidic linkages. The majority of green plants synthesize this polysaccharide as a form of energy storage. It is the most prevalent type of carbohydrate consumed by people worldwide and is present in significant proportions in common foods like wheat, potatoes, maize (corn), rice, and cassava (manioc).

Pure starch is a powder that is white, odorless, tasteless, and insoluble in alcohol or cold water. It is made up of the branching amylopectin and the linear and helical amylose molecules. Starch typically comprises 20 to 25% amylose and 75 to 80% amylopectin by weight, depending on the plant. Animals store their energy in glycogen, which is a more intricately branched form of amylopectin.

Finger [1]
The situation would be that, in a sealed tube,  there are 3 to 4 nails inside and a certain amount of calcium chloride was added. After three days, there will be no changes to be observed in the first tube since the oxygen is not enough to initiate a change and there is no presence of water. For the second test, the same situation is made but boiling water was filled in the tube. For this, no changes would still be observed since there is no moisture. For the last test, the same situation as the first but it is filled halfway with water. After 3 days, rust would be observed on the nails. In order for rust to happen, there should be water and oxygen. The oxygen in the early atmosphere of the Earth would react with iron present in the oceans thus producing iron ores.
