Potassium biiodate, KH(IO3)2, is a primary standard strong acid in analytical chemistry.[4][5]

Chemistry

The biiodate anion is a hydrogen-bonded species formed from the reaction of an iodate anion with undissociated iodic acid (pKa = 0.75).[6]

IO3 + HIO3 → [H(IO3)2]     Kc ≈ 4 dm3 mol−1

Hence, in dilute aqueous solutions, potassium biiodate can be considered to be a mixture of potassium iodate and iodic acid: however, it dissolves and recrystallizes coherently from water.[7]

Potassium biiodate loses water on heating to form a compound formulated as 2KIO3·I2O5: quantitative dehydration is described as rapid at 200 °C,[4] but takes three days at 105 °C.[7]

Preparation

Potassium biiodate is commercially available in analytical grade. However it may be conveniently prepared by simply mixing hot concentrated solutions of potassium iodate and iodic acid and allowing the potassium biiodate to crystallize. The crystals may be washed with absolute ethanol and dried in air.[7]

Ferroelectricity

Potassium biiodate forms a ferroelectric phase below the Curie point of TC = 223(2) K.[8] The second-order phase transition appears to be associated with the ordering of the hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure.[9]

Notes and references

Notes

  1. Hazards were assessed as for an equimolar mixture of potassium iodate and iodic acid.
