Potassium iodide solubility

Chlorine is more potent an oxidant than is bromine but less so than fluorine (Clifford, 1961a). Thus, chlorine is able to oxidize both bromide and iodide ions to Br2 and I2, respectively, whereas fluorine oxidizes chloride, bromide, and iodide to their corresponding halogens. The oxidizing ability of chlorine is the basis for the starch-iodide test for chlorine. Here, a mixture of potassium iodide, soluble starch, and zinc chloride produces a blue-violet color in the presence of chlorine. Unfortunately, and like many spot tests, this is a nonspecific test and gives a positive result with many oxidants, for example, bromine. 

The interaction of iodoaobenzene and iodoxybenzene in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide yields the soluble diphenyllodonium iodate (IV) upon adding potassium iodide solution, the sparingly soluble diphenyliodonium iodide (V), analogous to ammonium iodide is precipitated ... 

I) The filtrate contains some diphenyliodonium salts these may be recovered as the sparingly soluble diphenyliodonium iodide (about 8 g.) (Section IV,27) by the addition of potassium iodide. 

Dissolve 36 g. of p-toluidine in 85 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 85 ml. of water contained in a 750 ml. conical flask or beaker. Cool the mixture to 0° in an ice-salt bath with vigorous stirring or shaking and the addition of a httle crushed ice. The salt, p-toluidine hydrochloride, will separate as a finely-divided crystalline precipitate. Add during 10-15 minutes a solution of 24 g. of sodium nitrite in 50 ml. of water (1) shake or stir the solution well during the diazotisation, and keep the mixture at a temperature of 0-5° by the addition of a httle crushed ice from time to time. The hydrochloride wUl dissolve as the very soluble diazonium salt is formed when ah the nitrite solution has been introduced, the solution should contain a trace of free nitrous acid. Test with potassium iodide - starch paper (see Section IV,60). 

Iodine is only slightly soluble in water and no hydrates form upon dissolution. The solubiHty increases with temperature, as shown in Table 2 (36). Iodine is soluble in aqueous iodide solutions owing to the formation of polyiodide ions. For example, an equiHbrium solution of soHd iodine and KI H2O at 25°C is highly concentrated and contains 67.8% iodine, 25.6% potassium iodide, and 6.6% water. However, if large cations such as cesium, substituted ammonium, and iodonium are present, the increased solubiHty may be limited, owing to precipitation of sparingly soluble polyiodides. Iodine is also more... 

Iodides. Iodides range from the completely ionic such as potassium iodide [7681-11-0] KI, to the covalent such as titanium tetraiodide [7720-83-4J, Til. Commercially, iodides are the most important class of iodine compounds. In general, these are very soluble in water and some are hygroscopic. However, some iodides such as the cuprous, lead, silver and mercurous, are insoluble. 

Alkali AletalIodides. Potassium iodide [7681-11-0] KI, mol wt 166.02, mp 686°C, 76.45% I, forms colorless cubic crystals, which are soluble in water, ethanol, methanol, and acetone. KI is used in animal feeds, catalysts, photographic chemicals, for sanitation, and for radiation treatment of radiation poisoning resulting from nuclear accidents. Potassium iodide is prepared by reaction of potassium hydroxide and iodine, from HI and KHCO, or by electrolytic processes (107,108). The product is purified by crystallization from water (see also Feeds and feed additives Photography). 

Methylene iodide [75-11-6], CH2I2, also known as diio dome thane, mol wt 267.87, 94.76% I, mp 6.0°C, and bp 181°C, is a very heavy colorless Hquid. It has a density of 3.325 g/mL at 20°C and a refractive index of 1.7538 at 4°C. It darkens in contact with air, moisture, and light. Its solubiHty in water is 1.42 g/100 g H2O at 20°C it is soluble in alcohol, chloroform, ben2ene, and ether. Methylene iodide is prepared by reaction of sodium arsenite and iodoform with sodium hydroxide reaction of iodine, sodium ethoxide, and hydroiodic acid on iodoform the oxidation of iodoacetic acid with potassium persulfate and by reaction of potassium iodide and methylene chloride (124,125). Diiodoform is used for determining the density and refractive index of minerals. It is also used as a starting material in the manufacture of x-ray contrast media and other synthetic pharmaceuticals (qv). 

Lead Iodide. Lead diiodide, Pbl2, forms a powder of yellow hexagonal crystals some physical properties are given in Table 1. Lead diiodide is soluble in alkaUes and potassium iodide, and insoluble in alcohol. It is made by treating a water-soluble lead compound with hydroiodic acid or a soluble metal iodide. It is readily purified by recrystaUization in water. 

Bismuth ttiiodide may be prepared by beating stoichiometric quantities of the elements in a sealed tube. It undergoes considerable decomposition at 500°C and is almost completely decomposed at 700°C. However, it may be sublimed without decomposition at 3.3 kPa (25 mm Hg). Bismuth ttiiodide is essentially insoluble in cold water and is decomposed by hot water. It is soluble in Hquid ammonia forming a red triammine complex, absolute alcohol (3.5 g/100 g), benzene, toluene, and xylene. It dissolves in hydroiodic acid solutions from which hydrogen tetraiodobismuthate(Ill) [66214-37-7] HBil 4H2O, may be crystallized, and it dissolves in potassium iodide solutions to yield the red compound, potassium tetraiodobismuthate(Ill) [39775-75-2] KBil. Compounds of the type tripotassium bismuth hexaiodide [66214-36-6] K Bil, are also known. 

Wet-Chemical Determinations. Both water-soluble and prepared insoluble samples must be treated to ensure that all the chromium is present as Cr(VI). For water-soluble Cr(III) compounds, the oxidation is easily accompHshed using dilute sodium hydroxide, dilute hydrogen peroxide, and heat. Any excess peroxide can be destroyed by adding a catalyst and boiling the alkaline solution for a short time (101). Appropriate ahquot portions of the samples are acidified and chromium is found by titration either using a standard ferrous solution or a standard thiosulfate solution after addition of potassium iodide to generate an iodine equivalent. The ferrous endpoint is found either potentiometricaHy or by visual indicators, such as ferroin, a complex of iron(II) and o-phenanthroline, and the thiosulfate endpoint is ascertained using starch as an indicator.

Laudanosine, C21H27O4N. This alkaloid occurs in the liquor from which thebaine is precipitated, and can be isolated by Hesse s method. The crude alkaloid is purified by extraction with small quantities of ether, in which laudanosine is soluble, and finally by precipitation with potassium iodide. The free base crystallises from hot benzene in needles, m.p. 89°, [ ] f 103-23° (EtOH), is soluble in alcohol, chloroform, hot benzene or... 

Lead is not generally attacked rapidly by salt solutions (especially the salts of the acids to which it is resistant). The action of nitrates and salts such as potassium and sodium chloride may be rapid. In potassium chloride the corrosion rate increases with concentration to a maximum in 0.05m solution, decreases with a higher concentration, and increases again in 2m solution. Only loosely adherent deposits are formed. In potassium bromide adherent deposits are formed, and the corrosion rate increases with concentration. The attack in potassium iodide is slow in concentrations up to 0.1m but in concentrated solutions rapid attack occurs, probably owing to the formation of soluble KPblj. In dilute potassium nitrate solutions (0.001 m and below) the corrosion product is yellow and is probably a mixture of Pb(OH)2 and PbO, which is poorly adherent. At higher concentrations the corrosion product is more adherent and corrosion is somewhat reduced Details of the corrosion behaviour of lead in various solutions of salts are given in Figure 4.16. 

There are two methods for overcoming these disadvantages. In the first the precipitation of silver cyanoargentate at the end point can be avoided by the addition of ammonia solution, in which it is readily soluble, and if a little potassium iodide solution is added before the titration is commenced, sparingly soluble silver iodide, which is insoluble in ammonia solution, will be precipitated at the end point. The precipitation is best seen by viewing against a black background. 

Preparation and use of starch solution. Make a paste of 0.1 g of soluble starch with a little water, and pour the paste, with constant stirring, into 100 mL of boiling water, and boil for 1 minute. Allow the solution to cool and add 2-3 g of potassium iodide. Keep the solution in a stoppered bottle. 

Discussion. In addition to a small solubility (0.335 g of iodine dissolves in 1 L of water at 25 °C), aqueous solutions of iodine have an appreciable vapour pressure of iodine, and therefore decrease slightly in concentration on account of volatilisation when handled. Both difficulties are overcome by dissolving the iodine in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide. Iodine dissolves readily in aqueous potassium iodide the more concentrated the solution, the greater is the solubility of the iodine. The increased solubility is due to the formation of a tri-iodide ion ... 

Soluble sulphides. Hydrogen sulphide and soluble sulphides can also be determined by oxidation with potassium iodate in an alkaline medium. Mix 10.0 mL of the sulphide solution containing about 2.5 mg sulphide with 15.0 mL 0.025M potassium iodate (Section 10.126) and 10 mL of 10M sodium hydroxide. Boil gently for 10 minutes, cool, add 5 mL of 5 per cent potassium iodide solution and 20 mL of 4M sulphuric acid. Titrate the liberated iodine, which is equivalent... 

The reaction is a sensitive one, but is subject to a number of interferences. The solution must be free from large amounts of lead, thallium (I), copper, tin, arsenic, antimony, gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, and from elements in sufficient quantity to colour the solution, e.g. nickel. Metals giving insoluble iodides must be absent, or present in amounts not yielding a precipitate. Substances which liberate iodine from potassium iodide interfere, for example iron(III) the latter should be reduced with sulphurous acid and the excess of gas boiled off, or by a 30 per cent solution of hypophosphorous acid. Chloride ion reduces the intensity of the bismuth colour. Separation of bismuth from copper can be effected by extraction of the bismuth as dithizonate by treatment in ammoniacal potassium cyanide solution with a 0.1 per cent solution of dithizone in chloroform if lead is present, shaking of the chloroform solution of lead and bismuth dithizonates with a buffer solution of pH 3.4 results in the lead alone passing into the aqueous phase. The bismuth complex is soluble in a pentan-l-ol-ethyl acetate mixture, and this fact can be utilised for the determination in the presence of coloured ions, such as nickel, cobalt, chromium, and uranium. 

Spray solution 2 Dissolve 1 g potassium iodide and 1 g soluble starch in 100 ml water. 

Dipping solution Dissolve 250 mg potassium iodide in 25 ml water, mix with a solution of 750 mg starch (soluble starch according to Zulkow-sky) in 25 ml water and dilute with 30 ml ethanol (99.5%) [12]. 

Dipping solution Dissolve 2.8 g potassium iodide and 1.4 g soluble starch according to ZuLKowsKY in 70 ml water and dilute with 30 ml absolute ethanol [10]. 

When a salt dissolves in water, it produces cations and anions. Lead(II) nitrate and potassium iodide are soluble salts. Lead(II) nitrate dissolves in water to generate Pb cations and NO3 anions. Potassium iodide dissolves in water to generate K and I ions. Mixing the solutions combines all four types of ions. A precipitate forms if any of the new combinations of the ions forms a salt that is insoluble in water. The new combinations when these two solutions mix are K combining with NO3 or Pb combining with I ...

Your instructor may elect to perform this step for you ahead of time. Prepare 25.0 mL of a water solution of iodine that also has potassium iodide added. The potassium iodide is added to increase the solubility so that the iodine dissolves completely in the water. This solution should be 0.025 M in iodine and 0.15 M in KI. 

Most alkaloids are isolated from plant extracts by conversion into the difficultly soluble salts which they form with complex acids such as hexachloroplatinic acid, chlorauric add, phosphotungstic add, hydroferro-cyanic add, Rdnecke s add, etc. Perchloric add, picric add, flavianic add, mercuric chloride, iodine in potassium iodide are also used. 

Explanation Iodine is sparingly soluble in water but undergoes rapid dissolution in the presence of potassium iodide due to the formation of the corresponding triiodide ion ...
