AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the chemical equation involving starch, commercial bleach (NaOCl), and halides (KI, KBr, NaCl, NaF). An attempt at the equation suggests that starch reacts with NaOCl and KI to form Kstarch, NaOCl, and I2, highlighting the role of iodine in forming a blue-black complex with starch. It is noted that halides act as reducing agents while bleach serves as an oxidizing agent. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these roles in the reaction. Overall, the interaction between these compounds is crucial for the starch test and their respective chemical properties.

1. If i were asked to write the equation for starch, bleach and halides, how am i suppose to do it?



2. starch, commercial bleach (NaOCl), halides (KI, KBr, NaCl, NaF)



3. My attempt at this equation: starch + NaOCl + KI --> Kstarch + NaOCl + I2

if I'm not wrong, you should consider the typical test for starch, with iodine forming a blue black complex with the starch.

the halides are reducing agents. and the bleach is an oxidising agent.

thanks. appreciated.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
