Calcium iodide

Description:
Calcium iodide (CaI2) is an inorganic compound characterized by its white crystalline appearance, although it can appear yellowish due to impurities. It is highly soluble in water, forming a clear solution, and is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. Calcium iodide is typically used in various applications, including as a source of iodine in nutritional supplements, in photography, and in the production of iodide salts. The compound dissociates in solution to release calcium ions (Ca²⁺) and iodide ions (I⁻), which can participate in various chemical reactions. It has a relatively high melting point and is stable under normal conditions, but it should be handled with care due to its potential to release toxic iodine vapors when heated. Additionally, calcium iodide can react with strong acids and bases, leading to the formation of other iodine-containing compounds. Overall, it is an important compound in both industrial and laboratory settings, valued for its chemical properties and versatility.
