Information About

Sodium Iodate




Sodium iodate ( Na I O3 ) is a Chemical Compound .

Sodium iodate is an Oxidizing Agent and as such it can cause fires if in contact with combustible materials or Reducing Agents . It can be prepared by reacting a sodium-containing base such as Sodium Hydroxide with Iodic Acid , for example:

HIO3 + NaOH → NaIO3 + H2O

It can also be prepared by adding Iodine to a hot, concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide.

3 I2 + 6 NaOH → NaIO3 + 5 NaI + 3 H2O

Conditions/substances to avoid are: Heat , Shock , Friction , combustible materials, reducing materials, Aluminum , Organic Compounds , Carbon , Hydrogen Peroxide , Sulfide s.
