Explain the relative solubility of iodine in water?

Iodine itself, I2 is not very soluble in water. However, the solubility of iodine can be greatly increased by adding potassium iodide to the reaction. The potassium iodide is broken apart into K+ and I-. The potassium ion is then dissolved into the water, and the iodine ion reacts with the I2 to form I3-. This I3- molecule is soluble in water. Therefore, the solubility is relative because I2 is not very soluble, but I3- is soluble, and both are made of nothing but iodine. Hope this helps.
