Hypoiodous acid, HOI, is an oxoacid of iodine. It is often considered to be only stable in aqueous solution.[2][3]
Contents
Preparation
Hypoiodous acid can be prepared in solution by the reaction of iodine with a well-stirred suspension of mercury(II) oxide.[2]
- 2 I2 + 2 HgO + H2O → 2 HOI + HgO·HgI2
It is also formed by the disproportionation of iodine in water, although the equilibrium concentration is only 6.4 × 10−6 mol dm−3 in a saturated iodine solution (1.3 mmol dm−3) at 25 °C.[2]
- I2 + H2O ⇌ HOI + H+ + I−
