Potassium iodate(V) can be prepared by adding solid iodine to a hot aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide.
The equation for the reaction is
3I2 + 6KOH → KIO3 + 5KI + 3H2O
Potassium iodate(V) can be separated from the other reaction product using their differing solubilities in water.
| Solubility in water at 25 °C / mol dm–3 |
|
| KI | 8.92 |
| KIO3 | 0.43 |
i)
Outline a procedure that you could use to obtain a sample of dry, solid potassium iodate(V) from the reaction mixture.
(3)
ii)
Describe how you would show that iodide ions are present in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide.
