Applications
DescriptionPotassium periodate (chemical formula: KIO4) is a kind of inorganic salt composed of a potassium cation and a periodate anion. It can be used for the determination of potassium and cerium owing to its low solubility of KIO4. It can be used an oxidizing agent, and as a source of oxygen. It can also be used for the determination of the concentration of other compounds through measuring the reaction between DPC (sc-202590) and KIO4. It can be synthesize through the oxidation of potassium iodate through chlorine and potassium hydroxide, or by the electrochemical oxidation of potassium iodate.
UsesFor the colorimetric determination of Mn (oxidizes manganese compounds to permanganates), as oxidizing agentPotassium periodate is used as an oxidizing agent in organic synthesis and an analytical reagent for the determination of potassium and cerium. It is also used in colorimetric estimation of manganese. It reacts with ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate to prepare tris[trinitratocerium(IV)] paraperiodate which finds application as an oxidant.
UsesPowerful oxidizer in acid solution, oxidizing manganese Compounds to permanganate; used for this purpose in analytical chemistry (colorimetric estimation of Mn), also for the oxidation of some organic Compounds.
General DescriptionPotassium (meta)periodate exhibits strong oxidizing properties in acidic medium.
Preparation methods
PreparationPotassium periodate can be prepared by oxidation of potassium iodate with a powerful oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate, chlorine or bromine in basic solution:IO3ˉ+ Cl2+ 2OHˉ→IO4ˉ+ 2Clˉ+ H2OAlso, the salt may be prepared by electrolysis.
