Sodium and chlorine react with each other to produce sodium chloride, or table salt:
2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaCl
When sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) reacts with potassium iodide (KI), it forms potassium chloride (KCl), sodium iodide (NaI), and elemental iodine (I2). This reaction can be represented by the equation: 3NaClO + 2KI → KCl + NaCl + NaI + I2.
Nickel and zinc chloride: Nickel chloride and zinc Chlorine and sodium: Sodium chloride Potassium nitrate and lead iodide: Potassium iodide and lead nitrate
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is table salt. Additives may include potassium chloride and potassium iodide.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium iodide (KI) is: 2NaCl + KI → NaI + KCl. This equation ensures that there is the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the reaction.
Potassium iodide is not added to sodium chloride. Potassium iodide is a compound made up of potassium and iodine, while sodium chloride is made up of sodium and chloride ions. They are two different compounds and do not typically react together to form a new compound.
Iodine in the iodized salt exist as iodine salts (potassium iodide/iodate or sodium iodide/iodate).These salts are dissolved and dissociated in the organism as NaCl.
When sodium iodide is combined with chlorine, sodium chloride and iodine are produced as the products of the reaction. The balanced equation is: 2NaI + Cl2 → 2NaCl + I2.
The balanced equation for Sodium Nitrate (NaNO3) and Potassium Chloride (KCl) is: 2NaNO3 + KCl -> 2NaCl + KNO3
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.
I would guess that this is so because of potassium's mass, being much more than, sodium's molar mass per ion. So can sodium iodide be used instead of potassium iodide? Perhaps, but maybe not to the same level effectiveness. Potassium molecules have been known to dissolve better than sodium molecules. One example is Potassium Chloride and Sodium Chloride thanks
The most important is sodium chloride; persons with heart diseases can eat potassium chloride. Many other salts are used as food additives in very low concentrations: potassium iodate, potassium iodide, sodium citrate, sodium phosphates, sodium monoglutamate, sodium acetate, sodium tartrate, ammonium chloride etc.
Sodium chloride, NaCl. Table salt often contains an anti-caking agent and an iodide salt. The iodide is added for public health reasons in some countries to avoid iodine deficiency.
