    This document provides instructions for an experiment to test the sensitivity of the iodine test on starch solutions of varying concentrations from 1% down to 0.0001%. Students will make serial dilutions of a 1% starch solution and test each resulting solution with iodine to determine the lowest concentration at which starch can still be detected using the iodine test. Materials needed include a 1% starch solution, iodine solution, graduated pipettes or syringes, test tubes, labels, and a test tube rack.

    Experiment 5. How sensitive is the iodine test? - preparation

    Outline A serial dilution of starch solution is made, starting from 1% and


    going down to .00010%
    The resulting solutions are tested with iodine to estimate its sensitivity.

    Prior knowledge Experiment 1 (not essential). Use of graduated pipette or syringe for
    measuring small volumes of liquid.

    Advance preparation and materials


    1 % starch solution 15 cm3 per group
    iodine solution 5 cm3 per group

    Apparatus-per group
    10 cm3 graduated pipette or syringes*
    test-tube rack and 5 test-tubes
    dropping pipette (for iodine)
    beaker (for water)
    5 labels or spirit marker

    *A 10 cm3 syringe can be used for adding the water; a 1cm3 syringe can be used for withdrawing
    the samples
