title: Preparation of iodic acid by direct oxidation of iodine with perchloric acid dihydrate.
abstract: Iodine is quantitatively oxidised to iodic acid by boiling with 70% perchloric acid and the iodic acid is isolated by cooling, filtering off the precipitated crystals, and washing them with concentrated nitric acid. The over-all stoichiometry of the reaction is one molecule of perchloric acid per atom of iodine.
