Uses
Iodine pentoxide is used for analysis of carbon monoxide and for CO removal from air. It also is used as an oxidizing agent in other oxidation reactions. Iodine (V) oxide is used as an oxidizing agent to remove carbon monoxide from gas. Oxidizes carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide with the formn of iodine (Ditte's reaction, which proceeds rapidly at 65° or above, but slowly at room temp). This reaction is used in gas analysis and for removing carbon monoxide from the air (in respirators preferably in presence of some H2SO4).
