What happens when water reacts with iodine?
Iodine reacts with water to produce hypoiolite, OI-. The pH of the solution determines the position of the equilibrium. Iodine is not reactive towards with oxygen or nitrogen. However, iodine does react with ozone, O3 to form the unstable yellow I4O9.
What happens when water reacts with sodium chloride?
Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together. After the salt compounds are pulled apart, the sodium and chloride atoms are surrounded by water molecules, as this diagram shows. Once this happens, the salt is dissolved, resulting in a homogeneous solution.
What is the formula of the reaction product when sodium reacts with iodine?
NaI
Sodium iodide (chemical formula NaI) is an ionic compound formed from the chemical reaction of sodium metal and iodine.

What colour is iodine in aqueous solution?

Teaching notes
| Colour after shaking with hydrocarbon solvent | Reaction with potassium chloride solution | |
|---|---|---|
| Bromine water | Aqueous layer: yellow-orange to colourless Hydrocarbon layer: colourless to pale yellow-orange | No reaction |
| Iodine solution | Aqueous layer: brown to colourless Hydrocarbon layer: colourless to purple | No reaction |
Why does iodine dissolve in water?
Explanation: Iodine is soluble in both ethanol and hexane. Iodine does not dissolve in water because water is an extremely polar molecule, while iodine exists in the diatomic form of I2 , and is therefore non-polar, and will not dissolve in water.
Does iodine react with sodium chloride?
Iodine is the least reactive of the halogens, because it did not react with either sodium chloride or sodium bromide.
Why is iodide soluble in water?
Although non-polar molecular iodine cannot dissolve in water, it reacts with iodide ion to form something that can: the triiodide ion. When iodide and iodine meet at water/chloroform-hexane surfaces, the triiodide ion formed dissolves in the water, not the non-polar solvent mixture.
How sodium iodide and iodine differ in their solubility in water?
NaI is an ionic compound which can dissolve in water due to the polar nature of water molecules. [example here]. Iodine is made up of molecules of I2, which individually have no dipole moment (I-I bond has no dipole as both iodine atoms have same electronegativity).
Does iodine turn white?
If you heat a test tube containing a solution of starch, iodine, and water over a chemical burner for some time, the solution will turn white and transparent. This is because the compound of iodine and starch is unstable, but if you put the test tube in cold water, a dark blue sediment will form once more.
Why is iodine clear in water?
Iodine is known in chemistry as an indicator. Indicators are chemicals that make observable changes when exposed to other chemicals. What is this? In this case, iodine can bind to ascorbic acid (the vitamin C), which turns the iodine particles clear.
What increases the solubility of iodine in water?
The solubility of I2 in water increases by the addition of KI due to formation of polyhalide ion, i.e., I3−.
Why is iodine added to sodium chloride?
Iodine (in the form of iodide) is added to table salt to help prevent iodine deficiency. Since the 1980s there have been efforts to have universal salt iodization. This has been an affordable and effective way to combat iodine deficiency around the world, but not all salt contains iodine, however.
What is iodine from sodium chloride?
Sodium iodide is used as a supplement of iodine. It is mixed with sodium chloride when producing salt. Therefore, what we consume as salt is an iodine supplement that helps to avoid iodine deficiency.
How do sodium iodine and iodine differ in their solubility in water?
What is the reaction between iodine and chloride?
No reaction should occur as iodine is not powerful enough to displace Chloride. The oxidation power of Iodine is less than Chlorine. The chloride and iodide ions are created when a chlorine or iodine atom gains an extra electron, to form a negatively charged ion.
Why do we add chlorine and iodine to water?
Chlorine is added to municipal water supplies to purify it enough to become safe to drink. Iodine is also added to water when people camp or go hiking in the back country where they cannot bring purified water along. Chlorine and iodine are added to kill microorganisms in water. Oxidation reactions occurred in this experiment.
What happens when chlorine is oxidized and iodine reduced?
The Chlorine was oxidized because it lost electrons in the reaction. The iodine was reduced because it gained electrons. The solutions turned a yellow color because of the iodine which disappears once all of the iodine has reacted in the titration.
What element is formed when sodium reacts with chlorine?
The compound NaCl is formed by sodium reacting with chlorine. The chlorine will remain with the sodium if any other halogens below it in the Periodic Table are present (such as iodine – I2) but it would be replaced if fluorine, the element above it in the table, were present.
