Strong iodide solution or what contains 5 iodine and 10 potassium iodide?
That would be a 5% solution of Lugol's iodine.
How do you prepare iodine solution?
dissolve iodine crystals in a saturated KI(potassium iodide) solution
What does lugol's iodine?
it is iodine and potassium iodide solution It's a orange colored solution that consists of Iodine and Potassium Iodide and is used to test a substance for starch. If the color of the solution turns black when put on/in the substance, then the substance is positive for starch.
What are the element or compound for potassium iodide?

What does lkl stand for?
Iodine-Potassium-Iodide - IKI - Lugol's Solution
What is the difference between Iodine bought in a pharmacy and the Iodine stain solution?
The iodine stain solution you're referring to might be Lugol's iodine. This is iodine and potassium iodide in water. The product available in a pharmacy is tincture of iodine which is iodine and potassium iodide in ethanol and water. Please see the links.
What are the differences between the compounds and elements that make potasssium iodide?
Potassium Iodide is made up of two elements : Potassium and Iodine. Potassium is a alkali metal while Iodine is non metallic and halogen. Potassium is strongly basic, while Iodine is strongly acidic. In this compound potassium is in +1 oxidation state, while iodine is in -1. Aqueous solution of Potassium Iodide can dissolve Iodine to make Potassium Tri-iodide, KI3, which is brownish in colour.
What is difference between SSKI and Lugol's Solution?
It's the same thing. It is a solution of water that has been saturated to the max with potassium, then iodide is added (a form of iodine). So it is a potassium iodide solution.
Would you expect iodine to displace bromine form a solution of potassium bromide?
No. However, bromine would displace iodine in potassium iodide.
Methods of producing iodized salt?
Iodine is added to salt as potassium (sodium) iodide or potassium (sodium) iodate. An iodine deficiency is a source of thyroide diseases or can lead to idiocy.
What is the name of starch indicators solution?
It is the Iodine dissolved in aqueous Potassium(or Sodium) Iodide
Does the amount of potassium iodide added in potassium (V) iodate solution affects the amount of iodine liberated?
yes
