What is the balanced equation for potassium iodide and H2O2 solution?

H2O2 + 2 KI --> 2 KOH + I2


What is the equation for the reaction between KI and H202?

There is no real "net ionic" equation, as KI is a catalyst that decomposes H2O2. The "slow step" is H2O2 + I- --> OI- + H2O The "fast step" is H2O2 + OI- --> H2O + I- O2 The overall is: 2 H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2


Why is KI a catalyst for H202 decomposition but KBr and KCl aren't?

The mechanism of catalysis involves the I- ion only. The mechanism is: H2O2 + I- --> IO- + H2O H2O2 + IO- --> I- H2O O2 Second step regenerates the I- ion (thus acts as a catalyst). This reaction is first order wrt to both H2O2 and I-. Notably exothermic reaction. Must be in a medium which allows formation of I-, ie dissociation of KI. Water is a wonderful example.

What is the correct formula for potassium and Iodine?

Literally, the correct formula for potassium and iodine at standard temperature and pressure would be " K and I2". The formula for the compound formed between potassium and iodine, however, is KI.

What is the role of KI in the estimation of aniline?

ki is added to liberate iodine gas . this liberated iodine gas was then titrated with sodium thiosulphate to give a permanent white precipitate. this white precipitate indicates the endpoint of the titration..
