Iodine, I
See: Iodine, Table of the Elements
See: Iodine, RSC
Iodine, I, (Greek Iōdēs violet colour), halogen, grey-black, violet vapour
Iodine is important for function of the thyroid gland.
Iodine-131, reactor-produced medical radioisotope, half-life 8.02 days, used to diagnose and treat thyroid diseases.
Radioactive labelled iodine used to measure percentage uptake of it by thyroid gland (RAI test).
Iodine, I, iodine solid, Toxic by all routes, High irritant vapour affects lungs.
Solid crystalline iodine is toxic by all routes of exposure and a highly irritating vapour comes off from the crystals and iodine solutions.
Iodine poses fewer risks in school laboratories than the other halogens, chlorine and bromine.
Do not inhale the acrid iodine vapour.
Iodine, whether as a solid, in solution or a vapour can temporarily stain the skin.
Iodine density at STP = 4.93 g/cm3
Iodine vapour density 9 compared to air, vapour pressure 0.31 mmHg at 25 oC.
Iodine resistivity 1.3E15 μΩ-cm, bp 184C, mp 113 C.
Iodide (iodo), I-, monodentate ligand.
Iodine solid mixture, < 25%, Not hazardous.
Iodine solution, 1% iodine solution, 0.05 M, analytical reagent, 0.1N solution, Iodine indicator solution
Iodine solution, fixative, decolorized by sodium thiosulfate (hypo), so remove iodine stains with sodium thisulfate solution.
Iodine, I, I2, resublimed [COR 1759] is a non-metal forms violet black solid poisonous scales with special smell, the least reactive of the halogens.
Iodine is most common as iodides, insoluble in water, but dissolves in ethanol and a solution containing I-, 1% in KI, because it forms I3-.
When heated. iodine sublimes to form vapour that irritates the eyes.
Be careful! Iodine may stain the skin.
An intense blue colour is the iodine test for starch.
It is extracted from impurified Chile saltpetre and seaweed.
It is a powerful disinfectant and is dissolved in ethanol to form tincture of iodine.
Iodine value is the number of grams of iodine absorbed by 100 g of fat or oil, to indicate the amount of unsaturated acids.
Do not allow iodine to react with concentrated ammonia solution, because it forms nitrogen triiodide, NI3NH3 (touch powder), which is violently explosive.
The reactions of iodine with acetaldehyde or antimony metal are violently exothermic.
Use of solid iodine by students should be limited to 0.2 g (the size of about 2 rice grains), per experimental activity.

Iodine monochloride is dissolved in acetic acid to form Wijs' solution to test fats and oils for:
(iodine value, iodine absorption value, iodine number iodine index: mass of iodine in grams consumed by 100 grams of a chemical substance)
or to determine the degree of unsaturation in fats, oils and waxes, e.g. coconut oil about 9, olive oil about 85, linseed oil about 200.

12.6.0 Heat iodine crystals
Use a Bunsen burner flame to heat gently < 0.5 g of iodine crystals in a test-tube with a stopper to show sublimation.
Then allow the test-tube to cool to show condensation.
If heating more than 0.5 g of iodine strongly, do it only in a fume cupboard to avoid the irritating vapour.

12.6.6 Iodine extraction
Set up a white background, retort stand and retort ring to fit three separating flasks.
Dilute tincture of iodine to produce 200 mL of a deep golden solution.
Mix 200 mL of the dilute iodine solution with 200 mL 0.2 M copper(II) sulfate to produce a green solution.
Pour one third of the mixture into each of two 250 mL separating flasks.
Keep a third flask for comparison.
Add 100 mL of ether to one flask, insert a stopper and shake while venting the vapours to release any build up of pressure.
Leave to stand.
Add Freon or chloroform to the second separating flask.
Insert a stopper, shake the flask and leave it to stand.
The ether extraction produces two layers, a blue, lower, aqueous layer, and a yellow, upper, ether layer.
With care in the dilution of the original iodine solution, and the selection of volumes of solution to be used, the final ether layer will appear the same colour as the original iodine solution.
The Freon or chloroform extraction initially produces a purple colour, during the shaking, which should separate on standing to give an upper (aqueous) blue layer and a lower (Freon) pink layer.
Iodine is a non-polar substance so it is more soluble in the non-polar Freon and the slightly polar ether, than in water, that is highly polar.
Copper (II) ions are soluble in water, but not in non-polar solvents.

12.6.7 Iodine with ammonium hydroxide
Nitrogen triiodide, NI3, Nitrogen iodide, Ammonia triiodide, Touch Powder
Nitrogen triiodide NI3, Ammonia nitrogen triiodide (NI3·NH3)
Ammonia nitrogen triiodide may be found is some fireworks called Party Poppers, but do not try to open these fireworks and remove this chemical.
This experiment is very dangerous.
Wear safety gloves eye and ear protection.
1. Use a mortar and pestle to grind no more tha 1 gam of iodine crystals.
Drop the ground crystals into 10 mL of concentrated ammonia solution.
Leave to stand for 5 to 10 minutes in a fume hood.
Pour the soltuion over a piece of absorbent paper or towel to leave a dark solid of nitrogen triiodide on it.
Leave the solid to dry under the fumehood.
3I2 + NH3 --> NI3 + 3HI
When dry, touch the solid wth the end of a metre stick.
The solid may explode with a cracking sound and emit iodine vapour and nitrogen gas.
2NI3 (s) --> N2 (g) + 3 I2

2. Put 2 or 3 very small iodine crystals in a glass beaker.
Do not use tincture of iodine.
Pour ammonia solution over the crystals to just cover them.
Mix the contents of the beaker by swirling it for a few seconds then leave the beaker in a fume cupboard for five minutes. A black-brown precipitate forms in the beaker.
But leave for fifteen minutes if using cloudy ammonia.
Use masking tape to attach two layers of filter paper to a ring clamp attached to a retort stand Leave this apparatus in a safe place that is well-ventilated without wind or direct sunlight.
Decant the liquid in the beaker to leave a brown solid.
Dispose of decanted liquid down the sink with plenty of water.
Wear safety gloves while using a spatula to transfer the brown solid to the filter pape Leave this apparatus in a safe place to dry for two hours leaving the light grey solid ammonium nitrogen triiodide.
Be careful! Explosive!
When the precipitate is thoroughly dry, wear ear and eye protection, stand well away, and protect the ears.
Touch the precipitate with a long stick.
Some people use a long stick with an attached feather to touch the ammonia nitrogen triiodide.
The explosion leaves a purple vapour that should be avoided.

12.6.8 Prepare iodine crystals from tincture of iodine
Leave 1 cm of iodine solution in an basin cup to evaporate.
When only drops of liquid are left in the basin, transfer them to an evaporating dish.
Put the dish on a tripod and gauze and place a small watch glass or saucer over the top.
Heat the dish over a small flame.
The remaining liquid quickly evaporates.
Then the iodine vaporizes and becomes deposited as small shiny black crystals on the bottom of the watch glass.
Scrape crystals from the bottom of the watch glass into a dry basin with a knife.
Transfer the crystals to a dry test-tube and heat the test-tube.
The violet vapour of iodine fills the test-tube, and shiny black crystals of solid iodine deposits again in the cooler part of the test-tube.
Like ammonium chloride, iodine does not melt when heated, but sublimes.
To keep the iodine crystals put a stopper in the test-tube beforethe iodine evaporates.

12.6.9 Fingerprints with iodine
Press the fingers close together on a sheet of plain white paper.
While vaporizing the iodine from the evaporating dish in the previous experiment, remove the watch glass for seconds and place the sheet of paper with the fingerprints downward over the dish.
When the paper is removed, the prints show up clearly on the white paper.
This method of developing fingerprints on cigarettes may used by crime investigators.

12.6.10 Iodine with starch
1. Use tincture of iodine to detect the presence of iodine starch, when an intensely black-blue complex forms.
Some clock reactions produce iodine to be detected by the formation of a starch-iodine complex.
The complex comprises a linear chain of iodine molecules inside the spiral of glucose molecules that form the starch structure.
Iodine with boiled starch solution produces an intense blue colour.

12.6.11 Decolorize iodine solution
Alkalis can decolorize iodine.
Add drops of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, or ammonia solution to iodine solution.

12.6.12 Iodine writes on iron
Rub the blade of a penknife with sandpaper to clean the surface.
Heat the blade and then stroke it on both sides with a small piece of candle or taper.
When the blade has cooled a thin coating of wax is found to have adhered to the metal.
Use a knitting needle to write initials in the wax.
Write deeply enough to reach the iron.
Cover the blade with iodine solution in a test-tube and leave it for half an hour.
Remove the wax to find initials etched on the blade.

Also an allotrope of pure iron is called a ferrite.

Ferritin, NCBI Gene 2512, Symbol FTL
Ferritin is a protein produced in mammalian metabolism which serves to store iron in the tissues.
Gene 2512 encodes the light subunit of the ferritin protein.
Ferritin is the major intracellular iron storage protein in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, is composed of 24 subunits of the heavy and light ferritin chains.
Variation in ferritin subunit composition may affect the rates of iron uptake and release in different tissues.
A major function of ferritin is the storage of iron in a soluble and nontoxic state.
Defects in this light chain ferritin gene are associated with several neurodegenerative diseases and hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome.
The FTL gene provides instructions for making the ferritin light chain, which is one part (subunit) of a protein called ferritin.
Ferritin is made up of 24 subunits formed into a hollow spherical molecule.
The 24 subunits consist of numbers of the ferritin light chain and another subunit called the ferritin heavy chain, produced from another gene.
The proportion of the two subunits varies in different tissues.
Ferritin stores and releases iron in cells, with each ferritin molecule holdin up to 4, 500 iron atoms inside its spherical structure.
This storage capacity allows ferritin to regulate the amount of iron in cells and tissues, and the iron is needed for the body to produce red blood cells.

12.2.13 Heat iron to form iron (II) oxide
1. Heat an iron nail.
Describe what happens to the metal.

The iron is so thin that it gets hot enough to melt.
3. Repeat the experiment by heating iron filings.
Drop a finger width of the iron filings in the spirit burner flame or a Bunsen burner flame.
Describe what happens to the iron filings.
Some iron filings burn in the flame, like sparklers.
Very small particles of iron become so hot that they burn.
These particles combine with oxygen gas very fast to form iron oxide.
Fe + O2 --> FeO

12.2.14 Heat iron powder to form oxides
