It is a clear, colorless reagent used mainly for iodometric titrations and as an iodide source in analytical chemistry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat 10% (w\/v) delivers.\u003c\/strong\u003e Each liter contains 100 g of potassium iodide, about 0.60 M (calculated from 166.00 g\/mol). This provides a large excess of iodide for reactions with oxidizing agents, as iodometric methods require.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow iodometry works.\u003c\/strong\u003e In iodometric methods, an oxidizing analyte reacts with excess iodide to release an equivalent amount of iodine. The iodine is then titrated with standard sodium thiosulfate, usually with starch indicator, so the thiosulfate volume measures the oxidant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it helps measure.\u003c\/strong\u003e Iodometric methods using potassium iodide determine residual chlorine and chlorine dioxide, dissolved oxygen (Winkler method), peroxides, copper, and many other oxidizing species in water, food, and industrial samples.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy add iodide in excess.\u003c\/strong\u003e Excess iodide drives the oxidation reaction to completion and keeps the liberated iodine dissolved as the triiodide ion, preventing iodine loss by evaporation and giving sharper starch endpoints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStability and color.\u003c\/strong\u003e Iodide solutions slowly oxidize in air and light, forming trace iodine that turns the solution pale yellow. A yellow tint adds error to blank values, so store the solution in the dark and replace it if it darkens noticeably.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreparing for titration.\u003c\/strong\u003e In a typical iodometric procedure, acidify the sample, add potassium iodide in excess, and keep the flask in the dark briefly while the oxidant releases iodine. Then titrate the iodine with standard sodium thiosulfate, adding starch near the endpoint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandling at a glance.\u003c\/strong\u003e Potassium iodide solution is relatively low hazard, but it can irritate the eyes, and repeated exposure to iodide can affect the thyroid. Wear safety glasses and gloves and avoid ingestion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelated products.\u003c\/strong\u003e To prepare custom strengths, use Lab Pro's Potassium Iodide Crystals, ACS Grade, 500 g. For oxidimetric titrations, see Potassium Permanganate 0.5 N, 1 Gallon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it is used.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ten-percent potassium iodide is used in water and wastewater labs for chlorine and dissolved oxygen testing, in food labs for peroxide value, in QC labs for oxidant assays, and in teaching labs demonstrating iodometric titration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;
