If you want to see on the video and how it relates to recent concerns about radiation in Japan, see the following post on my blog: Here I am thehomescientist.blogspot.com from elemental iodine potassium iodide and potassium hydroxide. 6KOH 3I2 + + KIO3 + 3H2O == 5KI The coupling of potassium iodate product can be easily separated, because they are far less soluble in water, and make sure there was anything unusual, I dipped the solution in an ice bath. This video is a good example of how things are going really, if you do chemistry itself. You start with a number of assumptions, and much of the time, many of them are proved wrong, and you must find out to do another way, there. For example, I had to do the additional heating, and the fact that I spend too much iodine. I’ve added a number of observations in order to highlight these as well.

I don’t think you are extracting all of the KIO3 just by precipitating at cooler temperatures. KIO3 is soluble to an extent in the KI solution itself. I think if you ran an assay on this mixture, you would find a significant portion of KIO3 still in the final crystalline product.
@HHHdahman KI is not an element. It is a compound. If you want to buy, there are sellers on ebay. You can also get it from unitednuclear dohth com
How much in grams of the potassium iodide did you make?
where did you get your potassiumhydroxid
@superiorplanet Thanks! No you don’t have to boil it, you could just let it evaporate like I did at the end with the watch glass. It’ll form bigger crystals that way too.
do you HAVE t boil the potassium iodide down to get the crystals or can I just leave it?
thanks, loved the video btw, very clear and great explanations
@aeroscope You’re right, both of those will be in solution. The color is probably predominantly triiodide, like you said. Good catch!
whats the best way to convert sodium iodate and iodide to potassium iodate and iodide
The color you see is due to the formation is triiodide not iodate!!
Nice demo. In due time can you do a demo on making DMT. Thanks
Notice the solution crystallized out in the form of a hexagon – just like found on the pole of Saturn…there is some kind of electro-magnetic connection here; anyone know what that is called?
Is potassium iodate harmful to human health if it were drunk?
@WishFredWasDead As you might have seen in the comments here, it’s most known for its use in radiation protection. You can read more about that in my blog post, linked in the description. It’s also used to “iodize” table salt, and as a precursor for silver iodide, a photography chemical.
What is Potassium Iodide good for??
Just buy KI online.
You get the proper dosage.
Where do you get elements at?
Ive always wanted some KI…
@debbiemcchesney I had an idea for your problem: sodium thiosulfate, also known as “hypo”. It’s used to get rid of iodine stains by reducing elemental iodine to the iodide ion. That’s the same end result as using the reaction in my video – your iodine ends up dissolved as iodide. I’ve seen references to it being used to remove chlorine in pools after “super chlorination”, but it would work the same way for iodine. Good luck!
@debbiemcchesney That’s hard to say. I suspect that it won’t work though. This reaction requires heating to go to completion, and since it’s diluted so much it would go extremely slowly in any case. Plus if your pool’s pH is less than 7, the KOH would have to neutralize that as well. I don’t know much about pools though.

We decided to sanitize a swimming pool with iodine (we had on hand for chicken water sanitation) instead of chlorine and have about 116,000 quarts of water with 120,000 mg of iodine in it but it is ugly. Will potassium hydroxide make the water clear in that big a body of water? I have a small amount (1/4 lb.) on hand for making liquid soap.
@mrhomescientist Sorry
@Palizasadomicilio Yes. That’s mentioned and dealt with in both the video and description.
Don’t you obtain a mixture of iodide and iodate?
@SurvivingSTL Well it’s tough to say really. Iodine can be purified quite easily and to very high purity by sublimation and recrystallization, and you could get a fairly pure product of KI by recrystallization from the final solution. But I still wouldn’t trust it enough to eat it, personally. I have a healthy fear of anything I create in the lab, even if it seems benign. It’s kind of a tough call, because taking it or deciding not to both have risks. I still wouldn’t recommend doing it, myself.

This is one very “quickest” video. =p
Totally Brilliant!
love it!
@MrPatrickAbitbol most wildpostings are illegal anyway, so most likely you wouldnt.
13. I discovered this secret 4 years ago and now I’m revealing it to anybody who wants to learn, the fact that the entire Oil market doesn’t really go up and down in price by the dynamics of buying and selling, but rather is controlled by a computer. Now this is your chance to use this corruption for your own benefit and trade Oil from the comforts of your own home and make a great living doing so. Are you ready to join the revolution? Google my website “Oil Trading Academy”.
@mrpatrickabitol that’s kind of the point. You should be upset, about oil spills and petroleum in general.
I’d be pretty pissed if I had my poster under these. Pretty good idea though

@magicmarker90 Also, stop speaking in tongues. Im too old for Harry Potter…jokes.
@Meridianmulti Why is there so much hate? I don’t hate you man, nor do i dislike you. You could be a computer for all i know (obvs not), but yea… just get over this video… and me.
@magicmarker90 And maybe one day you stop being so profoundly ignorant of that which you feel so free to pontificate.
@Meridianmulti Well, see ya. I hope you can think when you’re bored! go out and enjoy life.
@magicmarker90 No just bored. Your bullshit is as boring as is it dishonest.
You refuse to address the stupidity in the video but go off on your silly tangents instead. But that is our problem not mine. Bye.
@Meridianmulti Wow, I got you rattled. Also, statistics are a good way to back up points. Do you have any? Do I have any? No and no. So stop complaining on youtube videos to make yourself seem smart.
I love this quote. “Do without oil entirely? Move oil by inefficient and dirty tanker trucks? Build pipelines that have their own nasty environmental consequences? Rely on Canadian oil sands, which is an environmental disaster? Or maybe nukes, which create waste that will be deadly for hundreds”
@magicmarker90 Your responses continue to ignore completely the content the video clip. Why is that?
The clip says nothing about alternatives and nothing about reduction of oil dependence. All the clip says is “No Tankers.”
Bottom line, banning tankers from Canada’s Pacific North Coast, which is what the video is calling for, would increase energy use and likely also increase pollution. Don’t waste my time talking about topics the video never addresses.
@Meridianmulti Transporting oil, and other goods like consumer products, should be transported across oceans. However, I feel like this video is trying to raise awareness that communities and global cities, like Vancouver or Singapore, have the ability to slowly become less oil dependent. I worked with Dogwood last summer and was an assistant to Vicky Husband, who has the Order of Canada. Think oil dependency is inexhaustible? Check out ziraisland . com
Very, very cool. Thanks for sharing and thanks for highlighting an issue of huge importance. Respect.
beautifully stupid.
@magicmarker90 Blaming tankers for oil use is like blaming wet streets for rain. The focus of the clip was banning tankers not limiting oil use. The fact that tankers are the most energy efficient and least polluting way to transport oil obviously hasn’t registered with you or the Dogwoodies.
.
Alternatives? I would assume alternatives include bioenergy, converting organic waste to electricity and other green technologies that allow for energy production without a large carbon offset. You can’t snap your fingers and get rid of oil, but you can slowly adapt to a different lifestyle. The campaign’s main goal was to raise awareness. 27,000 viewers are now aware. Thanks Dogwood Initiative.
“I wonder what alternative these folks suggest. Do without oil entirely? Move oil by inefficient and dirty tanker trucks? Build pipelines that have their own nasty environmental consequences? Rely on Canadian oil sands, which is an environmental disaster? Or maybe nukes, which create waste that will be deadly for hundreds of thousands of years?
Frankly this is one of the stupider campaigns I have seen in quite some time.
Man is the most destructive animal on earth. Our oceans are dying. Our lakes, river, and streams are contaminated. We are even poisoning our clean underground water, by fracking. Our air is poisoned, our soil is contaminated. Man is even polluting space with debris. The technology is here to have vehicles, running clean. They are just too damned expensive, for the everyday person to buy. The big oil and gas company’s, are fighting to keep prices high.
GENIUS!
@tinkeramblin
noo we can not drives cars anymore, until a better source of energy is found/used
at least that is my opinion….
I don’t want a car, I’m 24 and I cycle or walk everywhere… I’m really bugged by fat people and streets full of ugly metal boxes with wheels that produce nasty fumes
or take public transport
Tankers will have to continue to move around the globe, so why not try make them safer instead of banning them? It is just like your neighbours complaining that your water-soluble posters pollute their curbs and you go fix them on someone else’s walls!
