colorless or light yellow hexagonal crystal or powder, bitter taste. Melting point 740 °c I Boiling point 1100 °c. It has deliquescence. Absorption of carbon dioxide in the air, the decomposition of free iodine and yellow. Soluble in water, aqueous solution is neutral, soluble in methanol, ether, acetone, soluble in acid that is decomposed, free iodine or hydroiodic acid.
Iodine reacts with iron filings to generate ferrous iodide, and then interacts with calcium hydroxide to generate calcium iodide, which is obtained by separation, filtration, concentration, decolorization and evaporation and crystallization. Alternatively, hydrogen iodide is obtained by the action of hydrogen sulfide and iodine, and hydrogen iodide is reacted with calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate to obtain a calcium iodide solution. The solution may be concentrated by heating and cooled to crystallize.
It is used as a substitute for potassium iodide in the field of medicine, and can also be used as a photographic emulsifier, a fire extinguishing agent, a desiccant for hydrogen iodide, and an analytical reagent.

introduction | calcium iodide is colorless or yellow-white powder, easy to deliquesce, exposed to air to release I and absorb carbon dioxide to turn yellow. Boiling point is 1100 ℃, easily soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, propanol; Insoluble in ether. |
Structure | Anhydrous calcium iodide is a solid with a high melting point and a hexagonal cadmium iodide structure. In the gaseous state, it exists in the form of linear molecules. |
properties | calcium iodide hexahydrate is a colorless to yellow-white, bitter and deliquescent crystal or powder, easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol and acetone, The aqueous solution is neutral. In case of acid, it decomposes to free iodine or produces hydroiodic acid. Hexahydrate and ammonium iodide are heated and dehydrated in a stream of hydrogen iodide or dry nitrogen to obtain anhydrous. Calcium iodide will slowly react with oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air to form elemental iodine, which will deepen its color. |
application | calcium iodide is a substitute for potassium iodide in medicine. In addition, it is also used as a photosensitive emulsion for photographic film and a desiccant for hydrogen iodide. Used in the fire industry to prepare fire extinguishing agents. |
solubility in water (g/100ml) | dissolution grams per 100ml of water at different temperatures (℃): 64.6g/0 ℃;66g/20 ℃;67.6g/30 ℃;70.8g/40 ℃ 74g/60 ℃;78g/80 ℃;81g/100 ℃ |
