Iodine Water Production:

Question:

Have looked at the website and can’t find how to make iodine water.
Can anyone help me please?

Answer:

1. The recipe I have is from the Regional Technicians’ manual; it is as follows:
Dissolve 12.7g of iodine crystals in 25mL ethanol and dilute to 200mL with distilled water. It is difficult to dissolve and several crystals are often left at the bottom of the solution.
2.10g in 50mL ethanol and make up to 1 litre. Store in an amber bottle with screw top.
3. 2g of iodine and a few flakes of KI and make up to 1 litre
