condition) First time, I dissolve salts in the starch solution, and try to discover the
color changes, but it fails. after reading and researching I find out the
reason, the iodine in the salt is KIO3 but not I2. And the reason for the
coup in the introduction is KIO3 decompose under the heat.
KIO3=2KI+3O2 is the equation.
Then I changed my object to study the Iodine tincture.
In the result, we could find the changes obviously. The first bowl have
the lightest color, and the longer time it have been heated, the darker the
color is. The third bowl have the deepest color. From the chemical for-
mula we can know the reason for the KIO3 decrease, but what is the
reason for I2 to change? I make a hypothesis that the evaporation of the
Iodine tincture affect the result. Because more water vapor forms, the
tincture become denser and the solution have higher percent of Iodine.
