Ammonium iodide is sublimated after heating, and its gas will appear free iodine when exposed to light and air and become yellow or brown.Its aqueous solution is easily oxidizediodine。
It can be co heated with strong alkali to generate ammonia: NHfourI+NaOH → NaI+NHthree↑+HtwoO
2NHfourI+Ca(OH)two=CaItwo+2NHthree+2HtwoO
It can react with acid to generate another acid and another salt: NHfourI+HthreePOfour=Heating=NHfourHtwoPOfour+HI↑
It can react with salt to generate two new salts: NHfourI+AgNOthree→ AgI↓+NtwoHfourOthree(NHfourNOthree)
Character: colorless (sometimes slightly yellowish) cubic crystal.Deliquescence and photosensitivity.
Solubility: soluble in water, acetic acid, ammonia, easily soluble in ethanol, acetone;Slightly soluble in ether.

Neutralization method: add iodine and red phosphorus into the reactor containing water, react under stirring, carefully filter the reaction solution, distill, collect 125~130 ℃ fractions, and obtain hydroiodic acid. When ammonia gas is introduced to neutralize all hydroiodic acid to pH 8~9, stop the introduction of ammonia gas.After the solution is filtered, it is evaporated in water bath vacuum until most of the crystallization is precipitated.After cooling, centrifugation and drying at 50~60 ℃, the finished product of ammonium iodide is prepared.
HI + NHfourOH(NHthree·HtwoO) = NHfourI + HtwoO
