Solution

3KI + K3 [Fe(CN)6 KI3 + K4[Fe(CN)6]

                                           (brownish yellow)

3Zn2+ + 2K+ + 2[Fe(CN)6]4–   K2Zn3[Fe(CN)6]2 (white ppt)

KI3 will remain unreacted

KI3 + 2Na2S2O3  2NaI + KI + Na2S4O6

K2Zn3 [Fe(CN)6]2 + 12OH  2[Fe(CN)6]4– + [Zn(OH)4]2– + 2K+

Starch + KI3  Starch – Iodine complex (blue colour)
