Iodic acid
Revision as of 09:00, 10 September 2010 by Physchim62 (talk | contribs)
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 HIO3·I2O5 at about 100 °C, then to iodine pentoxide at about 200 °C.
