Diiodosyl sulfate is an inorganic compound, a basic salt of iodine and sulfuric acid with the formula (IO)2SO4. It forms yellow crystals. [1]

Contents

Synthesis

Reaction of iodic and sulfuric acids :

2 HIO3 + H2SO4 → (IO)2SO4 + O2 + 2 H2O

Passing ozonized oxygen through a solution of iodine in sulfuric acid:

I2 + 3 O3 + H2SO4 → (IO)2SO4 + 3 O2 + H2O

Physical properties

Diiodosyl sulfate forms yellow hygroscopic crystals and is poorly soluble in cold water. [2]

It dissolves in and can be recrystallized from concentrated sulfuric acid.

Chemical properties

Under the influence of atmospheric moisture, diiodosyl sulfate hydrolyzes with the release of iodine, iodic and sulfuric acids.

It decomposes when heated: [3]

4(IO) 2 SO 4 → 2I2O5 + 2I2 + 4SO3 + O2

It reacts with sulfur(VI) oxide: [4]

(IO)2SO4 + 2SO3I2(SO4)3

With concentrated sulfuric acid, it forms an acidic salt:

(IO)2SO4 + H2SO4 → 2 IOHSO4

Classical qualitative inorganic analysis is a method of analytical chemistry which seeks to find the elemental composition of inorganic compounds. It is mainly focused on detecting ions in an aqueous solution, therefore materials in other forms may need to be brought to this state before using standard methods. The solution is then treated with various reagents to test for reactions characteristic of certain ions, which may cause color change, precipitation and other visible changes.

Iodic acid is a white water-soluble solid with the chemical formula HIO3. Its robustness contrasts with the instability of chloric acid and bromic acid. Iodic acid features iodine in the oxidation state +5 and is one of the most stable oxo-acids of the halogens. When heated, samples dehydrate to give iodine pentoxide. On further heating, the iodine pentoxide further decomposes, giving a mix of iodine, oxygen and lower oxides of iodine.

Selenic acid is the inorganic compound with the formula H2SeO4. It is an oxoacid of selenium, and its structure is more accurately described as O2Se(OH)2. It is a colorless compound. Although it has few uses, one of its salts, sodium selenate is used in the production of glass and animal feeds.

The iodine clock reaction is a classical chemical clock demonstration experiment to display chemical kinetics in action; it was discovered by Hans Heinrich Landolt in 1886. The iodine clock reaction exists in several variations, which each involve iodine species and redox reagents in the presence of starch. Two colourless solutions are mixed and at first there is no visible reaction. After a short time delay, the liquid suddenly turns to a shade of dark blue due to the formation of a triiodide–starch complex. In some variations, the solution will repeatedly cycle from colorless to blue and back to colorless, until the reagents are depleted.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Sodium iodate</span> Chemical compound

Sodium iodate (NaIO3) is the sodium salt of iodic acid. Sodium iodate is an oxidizing agent. It has several uses.

Iodine compounds are compounds containing the element iodine. Iodine can form compounds using multiple oxidation states. Iodine is quite reactive, but it is much less reactive than the other halogens. For example, while chlorine gas will halogenate carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and sulfur dioxide, iodine will not do so. Furthermore, iodination of metals tends to result in lower oxidation states than chlorination or bromination; for example, rhenium metal reacts with chlorine to form rhenium hexachloride, but with bromine it forms only rhenium pentabromide and iodine can achieve only rhenium tetraiodide. By the same token, however, since iodine has the lowest ionisation energy among the halogens and is the most easily oxidised of them, it has a more significant cationic chemistry and its higher oxidation states are rather more stable than those of bromine and chlorine, for example in iodine heptafluoride.
