Scientists can collect qualitative data or quantitative data. Which type of data are you collecting when you do Biuret Tests, Bennedict's Tests, Iodine Tests, and Sudan III Tests?
Because these chemicals cause color changes (which is a quality) you are collecting qualitative data.

In an iodine test, what is the experiemental control?
A test tube with just iodine added and no mystery chemical. You will need this to compare the colors to determine if there was a postive reaction.
