Ammonium iodate, with the chemical formula NH4IO3 and CAS number 13446-09-8, is an inorganic compound that consists of ammonium cations (NH4+) and iodate anions (IO3-). It typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, which makes it useful in various chemical applications. Ammonium iodate is known for its oxidizing properties, which can be attributed to the presence of the iodate ion. It is often used in analytical chemistry, particularly in iodometric titrations, and can serve as a source of iodine in various reactions. The compound is relatively stable under normal conditions but should be handled with care due to its oxidizing nature, which can pose risks of combustion or reaction with reducing agents. Additionally, ammonium iodate can decompose upon heating, releasing iodine and other products. As with all chemical substances, proper safety precautions should be observed when handling ammonium iodate to prevent exposure and ensure safe usage.
