Calcium iodate

Description:
Calcium iodate, with the chemical formula Ca(IO3)2 and CAS number 7789-80-2, is an inorganic compound that appears as a white crystalline solid. It is primarily used as a source of iodine in animal feed and as a food additive to prevent iodine deficiency. Calcium iodate is soluble in water, and its solubility increases with temperature. The compound is stable under normal conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place away from strong acids and reducing agents, as it can decompose under certain conditions. It exhibits oxidizing properties, which means it can react with reducing agents. In terms of safety, calcium iodate is generally considered to have low toxicity, but exposure should still be minimized, as it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Its applications extend to analytical chemistry, where it can be used in iodometric titrations. Overall, calcium iodate plays a significant role in nutrition and various industrial applications due to its iodine content.
