Description :

Overview of Potassium Periodate

Potassium Periodate is a strong inorganic oxidising agent widely used in analytical chemistry, organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemical processing. Chemically, the potassium periodate formula is KIO₄, consisting of potassium ions and periodate anions. Due to its high oxidation potential, it is preferred in reactions requiring controlled and selective oxidation.

In terms of physical appearance, Potassium Periodate appears as a white crystalline powder with excellent stability under dry conditions. It is moderately soluble in water and remains stable when stored properly. Its strong oxidising nature makes it valuable in laboratory analysis and speciality industrial reactions.
