Question
Write the observation, and balanced equation for the following reaction:
Moist starch iodide paper is placed at the mouth of a test tube containing chlorine gas.

Answer

Starch paper turns blue black:
$
2 KI + Cl _2 \longrightarrow 2 KCI + I _2
$
$I _2$ reacts with starch to give blue black colour.
The chlorine liberates iodine from $KI$ and then it is decolourised.
