The item that will have a chemical reaction with iodine is cornstarch. When iodine comes into contact with cornstarch, it forms a blue-black complex, indicating a positive reaction. The other items listed (powdered sugar, salt, and baking soda) do not react with iodine in a way that causes a color change.
