HYDRIODIC ACID

~ also known as Hydroiodic acid; 10034-85-2; Iodane; hydrogen iodide; Hydriotic acid; etc. is the second strongest hydrohalic acid, following hydroastatic acid. Hydriodic acid is a generally used chemical reagent. It is one of the strong acids that ionize totally in an aqueous solution.

Chemical structure: The chemical formula of hydroiodic acid is HI. It has a molar mass of 127.91 g/mol. the gaseous form is Hydrogen iodide, while hydroiodic acid is the aqueous form of HI. They can both be interchanged. The structure of HI, which is a simple diatomic molecule, is given below:

Properties: Hydrogen iodide is a colorless gas. It has a pungent smell that is soluble in water to give hydroiodic acid. Concentrated hydroiodic acid is generally 48 to 57% HI in water...
