Amazing and detailed answer!
That’s my goal, to create a solution with mostly iodine (I 2) without adding any iodides, potassium, sodium etc…
I knew the solubility of I2 un water was insufficient, but wasn’t sure about reaction of ethanolic I2 with water later on.Thank you so much.
I really...
Thank you!
That’s interesting!
When you say more base, you mean dissolve the iodine crystals in more ethanol?
Or iodine/ethanol drops in more water?
Also would my calculation be accurate to add 10 grams of I2 to 1 liter of ethanol to make 1% solution?
Last thing…
So do you think that I2...
Yes, I believe you describe the Lugols solution.
That’s 5% I2, 10% KI as potassium iodide.
I wonder(in this case) what happens after you add the 99% ethanol I2 solution back to water, let’s say 10 drops.
Does it change its chemical structure? Or is it just molecular iodine I2 in water.
I...
Thank you,
I wasn’t sure since I2 molecular iodine is very reactive and does change as a specie, depending on the solution.
For example…. When you orally ingest I2 in aqueous solution, it changes in your body from Iodine I2 to Iodide I-.
If I understand this correctly.
I also wonder when you...
Hello everyone,
Does iodine specie change after diluting in ethanol 99%? I’m talking about I-, KI or other kinds of of iodine species. Or it stays in I2 form?
I’m looking to make 1% I2 molecular iodine ethanol solution from iodine crystals.
Would the ratio be 10 g per 1 liter?
Thank you all for...
