Sodium iodide dihydrate, with the CAS number 13517-06-1, is an inorganic compound composed of sodium ions (Na⁺) and iodide ions (I⁻), associated with two molecules of water (H₂O) in its crystalline structure. This compound typically appears as a white or colorless crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water, making it useful in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and analytical chemistry. Sodium iodide dihydrate is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the environment, which can affect its stability and storage. It is often used as a source of iodide ions in chemical reactions and as a reagent in iodometry. Additionally, it plays a role in medical imaging and thyroid function tests due to its radioactive isotopes. The compound is generally considered safe when handled properly, but like all chemicals, it should be used with appropriate safety precautions to avoid ingestion or inhalation.
