Overview | The aqueous solution of hydrogen iodide is called "hydroiodic acid", which is a strong acid. Chemical formula HI. Molecular weight 127.91. Colorless gas, light yellow liquid or mass solid. There is a strong irritating smell. Melting point -50.8 ℃, boiling point -35.38 ℃, relative density 5.660 (gas), 2.85-4.7 (liquid), refractive index 1.46616. In the air, it forms a white acid mist with water vapor, which is easily soluble in water and releases a lot of heat to form hydroiodic acid. Slightly soluble in ethanol. Unstable, when heated, light will decompose into iodine and hydrogen. Obviously decomposed above 300 ℃. Its azeotropic solution is a colorless or light yellow fuming liquid, with a boiling point of 127 ℃, a relative density of 1.7015, a strong acid (0.1 mol · L-1 hydroiodic acid solution dissociation degree can reach 95%), and the solubility of hydrogen iodide in organic solvents It is much weaker than in water, showing a non-electrolyte or weak electrolyte, and the ionization constant in pyridine is 3 × 10-3. The air is easily decomposed into iodine and hydrogen. It has strong reducibility and is the strongest reducibility among hydrohalic acids. It can be oxidized by Cl2, Br2, and concentrated sulfuric acid to free iodine. It is oxidized by air at room temperature and can be oxidized by concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid. Reacts with most metals to form corresponding iodide and hydrogen. |
application | constant boiling solution of hydrogen iodide is often used as reducing agent, disinfectant, analytical reagent, preparation of iodized salt, synthetic drugs, dyes, spices, etc. |
Preparation method | It can be heated by sodium iodide and phosphoric acid or reacted with phosphorus and iodine, and water is added to the mixture of phosphorus and iodine drop by drop. It can also be obtained by passing hydrogen sulfide by suspending iodine in water. Its constant boiling solution is obtained by introducing hydrogen iodide into water. It is synthesized by iodine vapor and hydrogen under platinum catalysis or hydrolyzed by phosphorus triiodide. |
toxicity | is highly corrosive to most metals. Not burning. But it reacts violently with fluorine, potassium, nitric acid, potassium chlorate, etc. Same as hydrochloric acid; It is strongly irritating, and gas or vapor can stimulate the eyes and respiratory system. Liquid can burn the skin. Patients who suck human vapors should be immediately removed from the contaminated area, placed to rest and keep warm. Inadvertently splashed into the eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of water for 15min. Skin contact immediately rinse with plenty of water. Wash your mouth immediately after taking it by mistake. Urgently sent to hospital for treatment. |
