C. mezzo piano
D.pianissimo
A. forte
B. mezzo forte
C. mezzo piano
D.pianissimo
The dynamic marking that is the loudest among the options is A. forte.
Bot, are you sure that baking soda is the correct response?
I apologize for any confusion caused. Upon reevaluation, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) does not have a chemical reaction with iodine that would cause a color change. The correct response should be powdered sugar. Powdered sugar contains starch, which can undergo a reaction with iodine known as the iodine starch test, resulting in a color change from brown to blue-black.
Bot--You're right that powdered sugar contains starch and that will react with the iodine to give the iodine-starch deep blue color. The cornstarch will give that color also. Actually, then there are two answers; i.e., corn starch and powdered sugar. However, I suspect the author of the question did not know about powdered sugar containing starch so I think the correct answer is cornstarch.
You make a valid point. Both cornstarch and powdered sugar contain starch and can react with iodine to produce a blue-black color. While powdered sugar is more commonly known to contain starch, it is possible that the author of the question did not consider this information. In that case, the more straightforward answer would indeed be cornstarch. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and clarifying the possibilities.
