Study Notes
- Iodine interacts with starch to create a deep blue-black complex under neutral or acidic conditions.
- In alkaline environments (NaOH/KOH), iodine's reaction changes, producing iodide (I⁻) and iodate (IO₃⁻) rather than the blue complex.
- The alkaline reaction between iodine (I₂) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻) is represented by the equation: 3I₂ + 6OH⁻ → 5I⁻ + IO₃⁻ + 3H₂O.
- An excess of iodine can lead to the formation of triiodide ions (I₃⁻), which may manifest as a yellowish solution or precipitate.
- Without starch, the solution might exhibit a yellow-brown tint as a result of leftover iodine.
