:Potassium iodide
Description:
Potassium iodide (KI) is an inorganic compound characterized by its white, crystalline appearance and high solubility in water. It is composed of potassium (K) and iodide (I) ions, forming a stable ionic compound. KI is commonly used in various applications, including as a dietary supplement to prevent iodine deficiency, in medical treatments such as thyroid protection during radiation exposure, and in laboratory settings as a reagent. The compound exhibits properties such as hygroscopicity, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air, and it can also react with strong oxidizing agents. In solution, potassium iodide can release iodide ions, which are essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Additionally, KI is known for its role in the formation of iodine-starch complexes, which are used in titrations and analytical chemistry. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as excessive exposure can lead to irritation or other health issues. Overall, potassium iodide is a versatile compound with significant importance in both health and scientific research.

CAS:<p>Potassium iodide is a chemical compound that is used as a nutrient solution in the production of polyvinyl chloride. It reacts with sodium trifluoroacetate to produce potassium trifluoroacetate, which is then reacted with copper chloride to form copper trifluoride. The reaction produces hydrogen fluoride gas and anhydrous sodium carbonate. Potassium iodide has been shown to have some antiviral effects against hepatitis B virus and the herpes simplex virus type 1. This compound can also be used in wastewater treatment processes because it reacts with trifluoroacetic acid to form carbon dioxide and sodium bicarbonate. Potassium iodide can be titrated with hydrochloric acid or acetic acid to determine its concentration. In addition, potassium iodide can be used for chemiluminescent reactions and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments.</p>Formula:IKPurity:Min 99%Color and Shape:White Off-White PowderMolecular weight:166 g/mol
