The work has mainly been carried on in two parts. First to verify and check the work of previous investigations on the subject, and second: to produce compounds related in structure to Nitrogen Iodide with the molecule so load- ed as to produce a greater stability. Probably the most extensive of the past investiga- tions upon the subject of nitrogen iodide has been done by F.D.Chattaway with the assistance of K.J, P. Orton and H.P. Stevens. These men have made an exhaustive research on the problem and have accumulated a vast amount of quantitative data and analyses on the reaction of nitrogen iodide under numerous conditions with many reagents. Among their work on the subject appears, "THE PREPARATION AND PROPERTIES OF THE SO-CALLED NITROGEN IODIDE." by F.D.Chattaway & K.J. P. Orton (1.) under this title appears a brief review of how the com- pound was prepared previous to their investigation, their methods of preparing both the amorphous and crystalline com- pound, the general properties of the same and a brief descrip- tion of the crystals of this compound as determined by W.J.Pope "THE ACTION OF REDUCING AGENTS UPON NITROGEN IODIDE" by F.D.Chattaway & H.P.Stevens (3.) This investigation takes up the action of the following S, reducing agents, Na2S03 ,H2S03 ,As2S3> Sb203,SnCl2and H 2 giving the results produced by each upon nitrogen iodide in detail. Also considerable analytical data is given to substantiate their statements completely. The following table shows the re- lative reducing power of each of the agents used. am't reducing NasS03 H2SO3 AS3S3 Sba03 SnCla H2S agent oxidized.

Normal proba- bly meaning that generally associated with the element. "THE COMPOSITION OF NITROGEN IODIDE" by F.D. Chat taway. (1. A brief resume of the properties of nitrogen iodide and its general composition is discussed being followed by considerable experimental data with a discussion of the analytical results obtained* Experiments were also made to determine whether similar substances of composition differing from N2H3I3 could be produced. Nitrogen iodide was prepared in the following ways and analyses are given to show the degree of purity and oonsistancy of the compounds obtained* (1) Thru the action of a solution of iodine in potassium iodide on a solution of ammonia. The average nitrogen, iodine ratio for 6 analyses is 1.998 : 3. (2) From the action of a strong ammonia solution on solid iodine. Average ratio for 6 analyses 1.983 : 3. (3) Thru the action of an alcoholio solution of iodine up- on ammonia. Average ratio for 6 analyses 1.987 : 3. (4) By adding ammonia to a solution of potassium hypoio- dite containing an excess of potash. Average ratio for 6 analy- ses 1.997 : 3. (5) From the action of iodine monochlorlde on ammonia. Average ratio for 6 analyses 1.995 : 3. (1.) refer to Am.Chem.J. 24, 139, (1900) .4. (6) The action of bleaching powder on ammonium iodide. Average ratio for 3 analyses 1*990 : 3. Analyses of amorphous nitrogen iodide dried over baryta in an atmosphere of ammonia, light being totally excluded. The following figures are averages of 8 analyses of the dried compound. nitrogen, iodine ratio ^ lodl^, ff> nitrogen 1.993 : 3. 93.42 6.81 The weights of the dry samples varying from 0.2733 to 0.5937 g. All attempts to prepare similar substances of composition dif- fering from seem to have failed as their accompanying analytical data shows that the nitrogen, iodine ratio always varied closely around the 2 : 3 figure. The nitrogen value ranging from 1.98 to 3.006. Mixtures of any composition from nitrogen iodide to pure iodine were prepared by washing the pure compound continuously with distilled water. As a final summation of his investigation, it seems only quite evident that the simplest formula that nitrogen iodide can have is W 2H3 I 3* "THE ACTION OF LIGHT ON NITROGEN IODIDE" by F.D.Chattaway & K.J.P.Orton (1.) The experimental portion of this subject is also preceded by a brief review of this portion of the subjeot touched upon by others, with a description of the aotion of light upon nitro- gen iodide. An estimation of each substance produced, when nitrogen iodide suspended in a solution of ammonia decomposes under the influence of light is given; being accompanied by analytical data to show the accuracy of the results obtained. (1.) refer to Am.Chem.J. 34, 159, (1900) -5- The article also includes a demonstration with analytical data, to show that hydriodic aoid is liberated during the de- composition by light. The observed action of light on iodine suspended in a solution of ammonia, being followed by the ac- tion of light of different wave lengths on nitrogen iodide. The results of this last determination show that the decomposi- tion produced varies directly with the wave length. White, red, green, blue and indigo lights were tried. The red end of the spectrum producing decomposition most readily being followed by the blue as a second maximum. The final statement being made that nitrogen iodide under the action of light, decomposes quantitatively into nitrogen and hydriodic aoid. "THE ACTIO* OF ALKALINE HYDROXIDES OF WATER AND HYDROGEN PEROXIDE UPON NITROGEN IODIDE" by F.D.Chattaway & K« J. P. Or ton (1.) under this topic the reactions of nitrogen iodide with the following are given, potassium hydroxide, water and hydro- gen peroxide. For the reaction with potassium hydroxide, the following reaction is given; N — NH -h (1) 2H3 I 3 + 3 KOH-^3 NH3 + 3 KOI ^3 3 3 Kl + KI03 At the same time a portion of the compound always breaks down under the influence of light to nitrogen and hydriodio acid. W ^ w (3) 2H3 I3 + 3 HI 3 HI + 3 KOH ^ 3 KI + 3 HgO These statements are backed with analytical results to show that nitrogen iodide under these conditions, acts according to (1.) refer to Am.Chem.J. 34, 318, (1900) the predictions. To show that equation 2 actually takes place, results on analyses carried on in the presence and ab- sence of light are compared. under action of water, nitrogen iodide breaks down as follows, N H I * 3 wH 3 H01 3 3 3 3 + W w HI 3H3 I3 2 + 3 I 4- HgO HI -h HOI 2 This statement and equations are also followed by positive analytical results. The aotion of hydrogen peroxide alone and in the presence of potassium hydroxide on nitrogen iodide is given. The au- thors stating that the process is essentially one of hydroly- sis. Potassium hydroxide is used in one case to prevent the deposition of solid iodine. Analytical results of sufficient importance to be convincing are given. "THE ACTION OF ACIDS UPOW NITROGEfl IODlDfc" by F.D.Chattaway & H.P.Stevens. (1.) A brief description of the general behavior of nitrogen iodide towards acids is given, and is followed by the actions of specific acids upon the same, including experimental data. The acids considered are hydr iodic , hydrocyanic, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic and hydrochloric. Step equations being in- cluded to more clearly express the reactions produced by the more important ones. The general equation for the action of acids upon nitrogen iodide is given as, W 2H3 I 3 + acici + 3 H3O—*(2 NH3 + acid) + 3 HOI Further reaction depending on the nature of the specific acid (1.) refer to AM.Chem.J. 24, 331, (1900) -7- ueed* When hydriodio aoid is used, ammonium iodide is formed and iodine is liberated thru the action of the HI on the hypoiodous aoid formed. If light be excluded completely, no nitrogen will be evolved. The statement is made that the iodine contained in N2H3I3, behaves as if it were first liberated as HOI • This being followed by complete analytical data. As a conclusion from the results, the authors say that nitrogen iodide entirely hydrolyses into hypoiodous aoid and ammonia. under the reaction of sulfuric acid on W3H3I3, the formula of that acid is inserted in the general acid equation.

  • Suppression Mechanisms of Alkali Metal Compounds
    SUPPRESSION MECHANISMS OF ALKALI METAL COMPOUNDS Bradley A. Williams and James W. Fleming Chemistry Division, Code 61x5 US Naval Research Lnhoratory Washington, DC 20375-5342, USA INTRODUCTION Alkali metal compounds, particularly those of sodium and potassium, are widely used as fire suppressants. Of particular note is that small NuHCOi particles have been found to be 2-4 times more effective by mass than Halon 1301 in extinguishing both eountertlow flames [ I] and cup- burner flames [?]. Furthermore, studies in our laboratory have found that potassium bicarbonate is some 2.5 times more efficient by weight at suppression than sodium bicarhonatc. The primary limitation associated with the use of alkali metal compounds is dispersal. since all known compounds have very low volatility and must he delivered to the fire either as powders or in (usually aqueous) solution. Although powders based on alkali metals have been used for many years, their mode of effective- ness has not generally been agreed upon. Thermal effects [3],namely, the vaporization of the particles as well as radiative energy transfer out of the flame. and both homogeneous (gas phase) and heterogeneous (surface) chemistry have been postulated as mechanisms by which alkali metals suppress fires [4]. Complicating these issues is the fact that for powders, particle size and morphology have been found to affect the suppression properties significantly [I]. In addition to sodium and potassium, other alkali metals have been studied, albeit to a consider- ably lesser extent. The general finding is that the suppression effectiveness increases with atomic weight: potassium is more effective than sodium, which is in turn more effective than lithium [4].

  • Iodine Fact Sheet & References
    Iodine Fact Sheet and References What is iodine? • Essential trace mineral • Critical in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland converts iodine into T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyrodine) hormones, which control metabolism throughout the body. • Excreted through urine Where do we find iodine? • Table salt (iodized salt) – Beginning in the 1920s, iodine was added to table salt and to other foods to prevent iodine deficiency. • Seafood and seaweed • Dairy and grains (amounts vary depending on source) Who’s impacted? • 2.2 billion people worldwide are at risk for Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDDs). Of these, 30-70% have goiter and 1-10% have cretinism. • People living in the Great Lakes region (including Minnesota) may have inadequate intake due to low levels of iodine in the soil in which crops are grown. • Iodine deficiency virtually eliminated in the U.S. and many Western nations, due to iodization of salt. However: o 1970s-1990s: median U.S. urinary iodine (UI) excretion fell 50%, indicating indicate intake, and possible increased risk for moderate IDD. Experts thought this might be attributable to a decreased intake of salt; removal of iodate conditioners in store-bought breads; and an increased use of non-iodized salt in manufactured or premade convenience foods o 2001-2002 NHANES data indicated that levels had stabilized. Even so, women of reproductive age consistently had the lowest UI levels. • Women of reproductive age are an important group to monitor: o Pregnant women are vulnerable to iodine deficiency due to an increased renal clearance of iodine and transfer of iodine to fetus. o Iodine supplementation during pregnancy is often delayed, because women are unaware they are pregnant during early weeks of gestation.

  • Potassium Iodide (KI) Use During a Radiological Emergency
    Potassium Iodide (KI) Use during a Radiological Emergency What is potassium iodide? Potassium iodide (KI) is a salt available as an over-the-counter medicine to help protect the thyroid gland if a person is exposed to radioactive iodine. It can be used as a supplement to evacuation and sheltering in the event radioactive iodine is released in a nuclear power plant accident. During a radiological emergency, potassium iodide should only be taken when directed the State Health Commissioner or designee. What is the role of potassium iodide in a nuclear power plant accident? Potassium iodide, if taken in an appropriate dosage and in a timely manner, can block uptake of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland and reduce the risk of thyroid cancer. Radioactive iodine is one of the major contaminants that could be released in a nuclear power plant accident. Exposure to radioactive iodine through ingestion or inhalation can increase the risk of developing thyroid cancer in humans, especially in children, who are more likely to develop thyroid cancer following exposure to radioactive iodine. What is the thyroid? The thyroid is a gland located in the neck, below the Adam’s apple. It makes and stores hormones that help regulate heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and metabolism (the rate at which food is converted to energy). Thyroid hormones also help children grow and develop. The thyroid uses iodine to make its hormones. How does potassium iodide protect against thyroid cancer? The thyroid gland requires certain levels and forms of iodine to function properly and can store certain amounts.
