KI or potassium iodide will be basic in solution because it is the product of KOH (a strong base) and HI (a weak acid.)

What is the chemical equation for pottasium iodide and HCl?

If you were to try and react potassium iodide with hydrochloride you would have the following reaction: KI + HCl - > KCl + HI Hydroiodic acid is actually quite a strong acid, so this reaction does not occur in real life.


What acid and base would react in a aqueous solution to produce potassium iodide?

Acid is Hydroiodic Acid (HI) and the Base (Alkali) is potassium hydroxide. Here is the reaction eq'n. HI(aq) + KOH(aq) = KI(aq) + H2O(l).


What would happen if MnO2 was mixed with KI and 9 M sulfuric acid?

When MnO2 is mixed with KI and 9 M sulfuric acid, a redox reaction occurs where MnO2 is reduced to Mn2+ and iodine in KI is oxidized to iodine gas. This reaction generates heat due to the exothermic nature of redox reactions, and a brownish gas of iodine is evolved. The manganese ions form a complex with iodine to create a brown solution.


Is KI and acid or base?

Well, isn't that a delightful question! KI, also known as potassium iodide, is actually a salt that is formed from a metal (potassium) and a non-metal (iodine). It is considered neutral rather than an acid or base. Keep exploring the wonderful world of chemistry, my friend!


What is the effect of adding the sulfuric acid before KI in iodometric titration?

Adding sulfuric acid before KI in an iodometric titration helps to acidify the solution and prevent the premature oxidation of iodide ions to iodine. This ensures that the iodide ions react with the analyte (substance being tested) instead of being oxidized by any oxidizing agents present in the solution. Acidifying the solution also helps to stabilize the iodine formed during titration.

Why sulfuric acid is not used while reaction of alcohol with KI?

In the presence of sulphuric acid (H2SO4), KI produces HI Since is an oxidizing agent, it oxidizes HI (produced in the reaction to I2). As a result, the reaction between alcohol and HI to produce alkyl iodide cannot occur. Therefore, sulphuric acid is not used during the reaction of alcohols with KI. Instead, a non-oxidizing acid such as H3PO4 is used.

Why is acetic acid added to vitamin C in a titration reaction with KI and N bromosuccinimide?

Acetic acid is added in the titration reaction to provide the acidic conditions necessary for the reaction between KI and N-bromosuccinimide to occur effectively. The acidic medium helps to convert KI to iodine, which can then react with N-bromosuccinimide. This reaction is commonly used to determine the vitamin C content in a solution.

Is KI a weak electrolyte?

No, KI is a strong electrolyte. All soluble salts are strong electrolytes, and KI is a salt since it is an ionic compound, but not an acid or a base.


Why is KI a neutral solution?

Potassium iodide (KI) is considered a neutral solution because it dissociates in water to form potassium ions (K^+) and iodide ions (I^-), which do not affect the pH of the solution. The ions from KI do not contribute to the acidity or basicity of the solution, meaning that KI does not alter the pH level significantly.
