Diffrent iodine colour from iodate and iodide.
« on: Yesterday at 11:41:13 AM »
Why iodine from potassium iodate has diffrent colour than from iodide?

Iodate solution looks like mud, brown/dark beige.
Iodide solution looks goldish - yellow/brown, even strong violet and the begining.

Why is that?

Iodate solution made of: starch + acid + iodide
Iodide solution made of: starch + acid + peroxide.

Hard to understand what you are doing, for example

Iodate solution made of: starch + acid + iodide

doesn't make much sense. You need to be more specific. Also:

What is source of iodine here?

Why do you add starch?
