Experimental Properties:

SPECIFIC GRAVITY: 2.85 AT -4.7 °C (LIQUID)|Heat of fusion= 0.686|Heat of vaporization: 17.36 kJ/mol @ 25 °C /Hydrogen iodide gas/|Decomposes in light. Unstable at room temperatures and above, slowly decomposing to hydrogen and iodine. /Hydrogen iodide gas/|Dissolves metals, oxides, carbonates, and salts of the other weak, mono-oxidizing acids, causing the formation of iodides.

Air and Water Reactions:

Soluble in water with release of heat.|Dissolves exothermically in water. The heat may raise toxic and corrosive acidic fumes. Fumes in air.

Reactive Group:

Acids, Strong Non-oxidizing

Reactivity Alerts:

Known Catalytic Activity

Reactivity Profile:

HYDROIODIC ACID reacts exothermically with organic bases (amines, amides) and inorganic bases (oxides and hydroxides of metals). Reacts exothermically with carbonates (including limestone and building materials containing limestone) and hydrogen carbonates to generate carbon dioxide. Reacts with sulfides, carbides, borides, and phosphides to generate toxic or flammable gases. Reacts with many metals (including aluminum, zinc, calcium, magnesium, iron, tin and all of the alkali metals) to generate flammable hydrogen gas. Reacts violently with acetic anhydride, 2-aminoethanol, ammonium hydroxide, calcium phosphide, chlorosulfonic acid, 1,1-difluoroethylene, ethylenediamine, ethyleneimine, oleum, perchloric acid, b-propiolactone, propylene oxide, silver perchlorate/carbon tetrachloride mixture, sodium hydroxide, uranium(IV) phosphide, vinyl acetate, calcium carbide, rubidium carbide, cesium acetylide, rubidium acetylide, magnesium boride, mercury(II) sulfate [Lewis]. Mixtures with concentrated sulfuric acid can evolve toxic hydrogen iodide gas at a dangerous rate. Decomposes at high temperatures to emit toxic products. Reacts with fluorine, dinitrogen trioxide, nitrogen dioxide/dinitrogen tetraoxide, and fuming nitric acid.|HYDROGEN IODIDE, [ANHYDROUS] is a strongly acidic gas. Reacts rapidly and exothermically with bases. Reacts with active metals in the presence of moisture, including such structural metals as aluminum and iron, to release hydrogen, a flammable gas. Can initiate the polymerization of certain alkenes. Reacts with cyanide compounds to release gaseous hydrogen cyanide. May generate flammable and/or toxic gases in contact with dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, nitriles, sulfides, and reducing agents. Additional gas-generating reactions may occur with sulfites, nitrites, thiosulfates, dithionites, and carbonates. Can catalyze chemical reactions among other materials. Decomposes at high temperatures to generate toxic products. Reacts with oxidizing agents to give iodine (when passed through fuming nitric acid, each bubble produces iodine attended by a flash of red flame [Berichte 3:3660]. Ignites in contact with fluorine, dinitrogen trioxide, nitrogen dioxide/dinitrogen tetraoxide.

Physical Dangers:

The gas is heavier than air.
