MAGNESIUM IODATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white crystalline chunks

Preparation

Magnesium Iodate can be prepared by reaction of iodic acid and magnesium hydroxide:
Mg(OH)2＋2HIO3→Mg(IO3)2＋H2O
A tetrahydrate results that is relatively insoluble. Magnesium iodate tetrahydrate occurs as welldefined monoclinic crystals of high luster. It is easily soluble in sulfuric acid.When heated, it loses two waters of hydration at 510°C and the other two at 620°C.

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from water (0.2g/mL) between 100o and 0o.
