[edit] Preparation
Iodic acid can be produced by oxidizing I2 with chlorine in an aqueous solution
[edit] Properties
Iodic acid is a relatively strong acid with a pKa of 0.75. It is strongly oxidizing in acidic solution, less so in basic solution.
[edit] Uses
Iodic acid is used as a standard strong acid in analytical chemistry. It may be used to standardize solutions of both weak and strong bases, with methyl red or methyl orange as the indicator.
