Answer:

When iodine is added on potato it turns into bluish-black colour.

Explanation:

This happened because:

The iodine indicator reacts with the starch in the potato which has a relatively neutral pH, so the amylose will not undergo hydrolysis and when the iodine reacts with starch, it will give a deep blue or bluish-black colour.

Answer:

When few drops of iodine fall on starch substance, blue- black colour is observed. This is because of the formation of starch-iodine complex that gives blue colour. Thus, this property of Iodine is generally used to test the presence of starch.
