Potassium Iodate Solution 0.05 M is a standardized aqueous solution containing potassium iodate (KIO₃) at a molarity of 0.05 M, designed for laboratory analysis, pharmaceutical applications, and calibration of analytical instruments.
🏭⚗️ Production
Potassium Iodate Solution 0.05 M is prepared by dissolving high-purity potassium iodate in distilled or deionized water and carefully standardized to achieve a molarity of 0.05 M at 25°C. The solution is stored in tightly sealed containers to prevent contamination and maintain long-term stability.
🔬 Properties
The solution is a clear, colorless liquid that is highly soluble in water. It is stable under normal laboratory conditions but should be protected from light, air, and extreme temperatures to maintain its concentration and oxidizing properties.
🧪 Applications
In laboratory settings, Potassium Iodate Solution 0.05 M is used as a primary standard in redox titrations, particularly for iodine and thiosulfate determinations. In pharmaceutical applications, it is employed for quality control, assay procedures, and calibration of titrimetric analyses to ensure accuracy, safety, and efficacy of drug products.
⚠️ Safety
The solution is a strong oxidizer and should be handled with care. Contact with skin or eyes should be rinsed immediately with plenty of water, and gloves, goggles, and lab coats should be worn during handling. The solution should be stored in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place, away from combustible materials and reducing agents. Disposal should follow laboratory safety protocols and local environmental regulations.
