POTASSIUM lODATE (7758-05-6) KIO, Noncombustible solid but many chemical reactions can cause fire and explosions. A strong oxidizer. Reacts violently with many materials, including reducing agents, hydrides, nitrides, and sulfides combustible materials, organic substances, manganese dioxide, arsenic, finely divided metals or carbon materials, hydrides of alkali or alkaline earth metalss, metal cyanides, metal thiocyanates, phosphonium iodide, red phosphorus, sulfides, sulfur, xenon tetrafluoride. Forms explosive compounds with solid organic matter. Mixture of powdered aluminum forms heat-, friction-, and shock-sensitive explosive. Attacks chemically active metals (e.g, aluminum, copper, zinc, etc.). Thermal deconposition, at temperatures above 1040°F/560°C, releases toxic iodine fumes. 

Carbon disulphide should never be used if any alternative solvent is available, as it has a dangerously low flash-point, and its vapours form exceedingly explosive mixtures with air. Ether as a solvent for recrystallisation is much safer than carbon disulphide, but again should be avoided whenever possible, partly on account of the danger of fires, and partly because the filtered solution tends to creep up the walls of the containing vessel and there deposit solid matter by complete evaporation instead of preferential crystallisation. 

Method 2. Mix 1 0 g. of 3 5-dinitrobenzoic acid with 1 5 g. of phosphorus pentachloride in a small, dry test-tube. Warm the mixture gently over a small smoky fiame to start the reaction when the reaction has subsided (but not before), boil for 1-2 minutes or until the solid matter has dissolved. Pour the mixture while still liquid on a dry watch glass (CAUTION the fumes are irritating to the eyes). When the product has solidified, remove the liquid by-product (phosphorus oxychloride) by transferring the pasty mixture to a pad of several thicknesses of filter paper or to a small piece of porous tile. Spread the material until the liquid has been absorbed and the residual solid is dry. Transfer the 3 5 dinitrobenzoyl chloride to a test-tube, add 0-5-1 ml. of the alcohol, and continue as in Method 1. 

Dissolve 1 0 g. of the compound in 5 ml. of dry chloroform in a dry test-tuhe, cool to 0°, and add dropwise 5g. (2-8 ml.) of redistilled chloro-sulphonic acid. When the evolution of hydrogen chloride subsides, allow the reaction mixture to stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Pour the contents of the test-tube cautiously on to 25 g. of crushed ice contained in a small beaker. Separate the chloroform layer and wash it with a httle cold water. Add the chloroform layer, with stirring, to 10 ml. of concentrated ammonia solution. After 10 minutes, evaporate the chloroform on a water bath, cool the residue and treat it with 5 ml. of 10 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution the sulphonamide dissolves as the sodium derivative, RO.CgH4.SO,NHNa. Filter the solution to remove any insoluble matter (sulphone, etc.), acidify the filtrate with dilute hydrochloric acid, and cool in ice water. Collect the sulphonamide and recrystallise it from dilute alcohol.
