Iodic acid, HIO3, is a moderately strong oxoacid of iodine. It forms a series of salts called iodates.
Iodic acid may be prepared by the oxidation of suspensions of iodine in water, either by electrolysis or with nitric acid.[1] Unlike chloric and bromic acids, it can be isolated as a white crystalline air-stable solid. The solid decomposes on heating, first to anhydro-iodic acid, HIO3·I2O5 or HI3O8, at about 100 °C, then to iodine pentoxide at about 200 °C.[1]
Iodic acid is used as primary standard strong acid in acid–base titrations because it can be weighed as a pure solid and has a relatively high molar mass. However, the solid cannot be dried in a 110 °C oven because of dehydration, and recrystallization is difficult because of the high solubility of HIO3: for these reasons, potassium biiodate is usually preferred as a strong-acid standard.
