What is the difference between iodine crystals and iodine solution?
Iodine crystals are solid, crystalline form of elemental iodine, while iodine solution is a liquid mixture of elemental iodine and either alcohol or water. Iodine crystals are typically used for storage and long-term preservation, while iodine solution is commonly used for disinfection and medical purposes.
What is the name for the compound IF 7?
The name of this compound is iodine heptafluoride.
What is the solute of tincture of iodine?
The solute in tincture of iodine is iodine. It is dissolved in alcohol and water to form the solution.
What is a solute and solvent in tincture of iodine?
Tincture of iodine contains iodine and alcohol
What is the symbol for iodine?
Iodine has the symbol I and atomic number 53.
If allergic to iodine can a person put drops with povidone in their eye?
If a person is allergic to iodine, they should not use eye drops that contain povidone iodine. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for alternative eye drop options that are safe for individuals with iodine allergies.
Where is iodine stored in the body?
Iodine is stored throughout the body, including in the muscles and bones. The thyroid gland concentrates the iodine from throughout the body; it is essential for proper growth and development.
A person who is experiencing an endemic goiter can be treated with dietary supplements of?
iodine
Who discovered iodine and in what year?
the year was 1811 and the person is Bernard Courtois
What is the response of the pituitary gland in a person who is deficient in iodine?
The pituitary gland will release more thyroid stimulating hormone if iodine is lacking in the diet. The thyroid gland will enlarge in an effort to respond to the TSH. The enlargement (goiter) can be large enough to cause problems for the person with the low iodine. One of the reasons that table salt has iodine in it is due to number of goiters that were see. Afterwards, the numbers dropped.
Why table salt is called iodized salt?
Table salt is iodized (that is, iodine is included via sodium iodide or potassium iodide) because people used to be unable to get enough iodine from their diets, and iodine is necessary for a person's thyroid gland to work properly. Since the thyroid is responsible for growth and immunity, people with thyroid deficiency had dramatic problems including dwarfism and goiter (a lump on the front of the throat where the thyroid gland resides). As a result of these problems, iodine was added to table salt (NaCl). These days, it is actually more likely that a person will develop iodine toxicity (i.e. overdose on iodine) because a typical person's salt intake is SO high above what we need for sodium or iodine. One sign of iodine toxicity is greasy skin and pimples.
Can a person be allergic to iodine used in computed tomography scans?
One of the common contrast agents, iodine, can cause allergic reactions. Patients who are known to be allergic to iodine (or shellfish) should inform the physician prior to the CT scan.
Can iodine help to prevent radiation sickness?
In simple terms, iodine can help someone to avoid radiation damage to the thyroid if that person is exposed to radioactive iodine. Radioactive iodine is one of the fission products that is released in a nuclear meltdown. If this material escapes into the atmosphere, individuals nearby may be exposed and take in radioactive iodine. Since iodine will collect in the thyroid, if iodine is taken before or upon exposure, the iodine a person took will "take up space" in the thyroid and the radioactive iodine won't be able to "move in" and collect in the thyroid and cause radiation damage. Taking iodine is a way to minimize a specific type of radiation poisoning. As radioactive iodine is a fission product, it can only appear as a result of an accident involving spent nuclear fuel. The nuclear meltdown is the most probable cause of the release of fission products, and there are a number of very hazardous fission products other than iodine. It is a good idea to reduce exposure by reducing exposure time, increasing the distance a person is from a source, or setting up some kind of shielding.
What is the common name for iodine?
The common name for iodine is iodine.
What is the solution of tincture of iodine?
iodine
What is the difference between iodine and povidone iodine?
Iodine is a chemical element, while povidone iodine is a complex of iodine and the polymer povidone. Povidone iodine is commonly used as an antiseptic due to its slower release of iodine compared to pure iodine.
Why does the concentration of iodine ions remains constant in the iodine clock reaction?
Iodine ion is not consumed; in the first step the iodine ion is oxidized to iodine, in the second step iodine is reduced to iodine ion.
