(PHAR 3 LAB) Preparation #14 - Strong Iodine Solution

Strong iodine solution is a brown liquid containing 4.5-5.5g of iodine and 9.5-10.5g of potassium iodide per 100mL. It is used as an antiseptic, antithyroid, and fungicide treatment. The iodine crystals are dissolved in potassium iodide and water using a simple solution method, as potassium iodide increases the solubility of iodine.
