Hey, guys! In one of my previous videos I showed you the reactions with dark red crystals of Iodine trichloride
And in this video I’ll show you some reactions with dark red liquid Iodine monochloride.
Iodine monochloride is a quite reactive red-brown liquid that fumes in air
Iodine monochloride reacts really actively with various elements,
these reactions are exothermic and in some cases followed by combustion and explosion
Usually, higher chlorides of elements and free iodine become the products of such reactions
For example, hot titanium reacts with Iodine monochloride forming titanium tetrachloride and iodine
And the reactions of iodine monochloride with both sodium and potassium result in explosion
Sodium in this mixture explodes on impact, though
Potassium explodes instantaneously, as soon as a drop of iodine monochloride touches its surface.
Antimony powder reacts with iodine monochloride forming antimony pentachloride and elemental iodine
Iodine monochloride also reacts with antimony crystal
Water decomposes iodine monochloride by this equation
Hydrolysis process is boosted by the pH increase
and carried out all the way through with the formation of chloride, iodate and iodide
That is why we don’t see the solution go black in this reaction
Concentrated nitric acid oxidizes iodine monochloride to iodic acid
Hydrazine hydrate actively reduces iodine monochloride to free iodine
Iodine monochloride can dissolve gold, transforming it into gold trichloride
Now I’ll add some water and filter the solution out from the precipitated iodine
Adding tin(II)chloride water solution to the solution
we just got results in the formation of cassian purple, which is a qualitative test for gold
