magnesium iodate formula also known as Diiodomagnesium formula is a crystalline salt of magnesium and iodine. It is also known as diiodomagnesium hexahydrate and is used in laboratory experiments. It has many uses including reacting magnesium oxide, magnesium carbonate, or magnesium hydroxide with hydroiodic acid and producing organic synthesis compounds. It is also commonly used as a reagent in analytical chemistry and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals.
It has a strong oxidizing agent and may cause burns to the skin or respiratory tract. Ingestion of large amounts may lead to stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and bloody stools. Exposure to high concentrations of magnesium iodate may damage the lungs and cause chemical pneumonitis.
Magnesium iodate can be prepared by reacting magnesium metal with iodine in an aqueous solution, or by treating iodate-containing magnesium chloride solutions with hydroiodic acid. It forms a variety of different hydrates that are typical ionic halides and do not dissolve in water. Magnesium iodate crystals are typically white in color and have no smell. They have an average molecular weight of mgI2. It is used in the preparation of organic synthesis and has various applications as a reagent, an intermediate, and a solvent. It has also been found to have anti-inflammatory properties and can be used as a treatment for cancer. Magnesium iodate can even be found in some foods such as eggs, fish and milk.
