How do the results of the iodine test indicate that hydrolysis of starch occurred

Chemistry
1 answer:
Irina18 [472]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Blue color of iodine-starch complex is disappear upon hysrolysis

Explanation:

Starch:

Starch is a polysaccharide

it is energy reservoir.

starch is made of monomers of glucose in a chain form.

The simplest form of starch is linear polymer amylose.

Iodine Test:

In this test iodine solution added to the solution to check the presence of starch.  

Iodine solution = elemental iodine + KI

Result of Iodine Test:

when the iodine solution (I₃⁻) is added to a solution it show two types of result.

if the starch is present this I₃⁻ form a complex with amylose chain of starch and impart a dark blue color.

if starch is not present then the color will be orange or yellow.

Hydrolysis of Starch:

Hydrolysis of starch is carried out by an enzyme, this enzyme break down the starch into simpler sugar molecule.

So,

When the hydrolysis of starch occur the starch convert to glucose. Then the blue color of starch and iodine complex formed during iodine test is disappear that will be the indication of hydrolysis of starch.

Which statement is true? 1. The electronegativity of an atom depends only on the value of the ionization energy of the atom. 2.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

5. Atoms with high ionization energies and high electron affinities have low electronegativities.

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the minimum amount of energy which is required to knock out the loosely bound valence electron from the isolated gaseous atom.

Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom in a bond pair to attract the shared pair of electron towards itself.

Low ionization energies as well as low electron affinities mean the atom has low effective nuclear charge, which results in the less attraction of the valence electrons by the atom and thus, low electronegativity.

The following reaction occurs in a car’s catalytic converter.
blagie [28]

Answer:The correct answer is ;

The oxidation state of nitrogen in NO changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in CO changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

Explanation:

2NO(g)+2CO(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2CO_2(g)

In an oxidation recation addition of oxygen atom takes place or loss of electrons takes place.

In an reduction reaction removal of oxygen atom takes place or gain of electrons takes place.

In the given reaction , the nitrogen atom is present in +2 oxidation state in NO molecule and present in 0 oxidation state in N_2 molecule. Hence, nitrogen is getting reduced that is reduction reaction. NO is oxidizing agent

In the given reaction , the carbon atom is present in +2 oxidation state in CO molecule and present in +4 oxidation state in CO_2 molecule. Hence ,carbon is getting oxidized that is oxidation reaction. CO is a reducing agent.
