Applications
Iodic acid is used in analytical chemistry laboratories to standardize solutions of both weak and strong bases using methyl red or methyl orange as the indicator. It acts as a key starting material to synthesize sodium or potassium iodate, thereby increasing the iodine content of salt.

Solubility
Soluble in water and methanol.

Notes
Light sensitive. Incompatible with reducing agents, alcohols and organic materials.
