Product Overview
Potassium iodide (KI) is a high-purity, water-soluble inorganic salt widely used in laboratory settings for its reliable iodine content and stability. This 99% pure grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for precise analytical applications, including iodometric titrations and redox reactions. The crystalline powder form dissolves rapidly in aqueous solutions, providing consistent results in qualitative and quantitative chemical testing. Its hygroscopic nature requires proper storage to maintain purity, but its compatibility with most lab reagents makes it a versatile choice for experimental setups. The product adheres to standard laboratory specifications, ensuring reproducibility in research and testing protocols. Whether used as a primary reagent or a supporting chemical, this potassium iodide delivers consistent performance for demanding lab procedures.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of potassium iodide 99% when stored properly?
When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, potassium iodide 99% retains its purity for up to 2 years.
2. Can this potassium iodide be used for volumetric analysis?
Yes, the 99% purity makes it suitable for iodometric titrations and other volumetric analysis methods requiring precise iodine content.
3. Is this product compatible with organic solvents?
Potassium iodide is primarily soluble in water and polar solvents like ethanol but has limited solubility in non-polar organic solvents.
4. What precautions should be taken while handling potassium iodide?
Wear gloves and safety goggles, as prolonged exposure may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of dust in powder form.
5. How does this compare to potassium iodide of lower purity grades?
This 99% pure grade ensures fewer impurities, reducing interference in sensitive reactions compared to technical or industrial grades.
