Iodine crystals are not soluble in water. This is because Iodine crystals are non-polar. Water is a polar molecule and it therefore cannot attract an one of the iodine atoms since they have an electronegativity of zero.

Yes. Potassium iodide is readily soluble in ethanol and in methanol, the two most common alcohols. The saturation concentration is higher in methanol than in ethanol, i.e., you can dissolve more potassium iodide in the former than in the latter. Potassium iodide-alcohol solutions are widely used in the construction of electrolytic tilt sensors, which require a stable ionic solution for proper operation.
