The color change occurs when starch interacts with iodine. Given the location of the color change, which particles (starch, iodine, or both) must have moved across the dialysis membrane, and why? Solution Starch Test: Adding iodine to a solution or directly on a material which contains starch it gives blue black colour.If the Amylose starch is not present, it give orange or yellow. Iodine Test: iodine might be used as indicator to follow the changes of iodide ion and iodine element. Iodine element will give blue-black colour in the presence of Iodide ion. EXPLANATION Starch is a polysaccharide contains molecules of amylose and amylopectin. Amylose in starch is responsible for the formation of a deep blue color in the presence of iodine. In the Iodine test , Iodine dissolved in aqueous solution of Potassium Iodide which reacts with starch to produce bluish colour. transfer of CHARGE between Starch &Iodine changes the energy level spaces in the Iodine or Starch complex that are for absorbing the visible light giving the complex its intense blue colour. the dialysis membrane does not allow any kind of large substances to pass through the pores of the membrane.the dialysis membrane was permeable to iodine and not to starch,because starch has larger molecules. the colour change occurs inside the dialysis membrane with iodine,because iodine has small molecules,selective permeability is a property of cell membrane that allows the small molecules to pass through them...
