Applications
Potassium Iodide is a metal halide composed of potassium and iodide
It reacts with chlorine to make iodine and potassium chloride. It turns yellow when in air. This is because it reacts with oxygen and carbon dioxide to make iodine and potassium carbonate. ... That is why a solution of potassium iodide dissolves iodine.
Dosage and directions
Potassium iodide is used to loosen and break up mucus in the airways. ... Potassium iodide is also used along with antithyroid medicines to prepare the thyroid gland for surgical removal, to treat certain overactive thyroid conditions (hyperthyroidism), and to protect the thyroid in a radiation exposure emergency.
