Amy is asked to determine the chemical composition of an unknown liquid sample. She determines that the sample is negative for protein, simple sugars, and lipids. However, someone else has used up all of the iodine reagent. Which scenario would allow Amy to test the unknown sample for the presence of starch

Amy can apply the Tyndall Beam effect ,by shining a beam of light through the sample solution.

Explanation:

The chemical test for starch is add iodine solution to the tested sample which is yellow/brown and observe the color change to blue/black color. However, the physical test to distinguish simple sugars from starch is the shine a beam of light through the sample solution. Because that sample solution contained no simple sugars, then the presence of starch in the solution will be indicated by dispersal of light because the large starch molecules are enough to affect the light.

Answer from: mfweldon64

In order to test the unknown sample for the presence of starch, Amy should B. Incubate the unknown sample with amylase and then test for simple sugars.

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down to sugars so if Amy incubates the substance with amylase and the substance has starch, the starch will be broken down to sugars which can then be tested for.

If there was starch, a sugar test would be positive.

Other options are wrong because:

the test is for starch so any test for proteins is wrong the Benedict's test is for sugars not starch to use potatoes to test for starch, an iodine solution is needed

In conclusion therefore, the best way to test for starch would be to incubate with amylase and then test for simple sugars.

Options for this question include:

A. Incubate the unknown sample with pepsin and then test for proteins.

B. Incubate the unknown sample with amylase and then test for simple sugars.

C. Add a known amount of starch to the unknown sample and then run the Benedict's test.

D. Incubate the unknown sample with catalase and then test for proteins.

E. Put a small amount of the unknown sample onto a fresh potato slice and observe for color changes.

One way in which the useful metal copper is produced is by dissolving the mineral azurite, which contains copper(ii) carbonate, in concentrated sulfuric acid. the sulfuric acid reacts with the copper(ii) carbonate to produce a blue solution of copper(ii) sulfate. scrap iron is then added to this solution, and pure copper metal precipitates out because of the following chemical reaction: (s) (aq) (s) (aq) suppose an industrial quality-control chemist analyzes a sample from a copper processing plant in the following way. he adds powdered iron to a copper(ii) sulfate sample from the plant until no more copper will precipitate. he then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate, and finds that it has a mass of .
