Reactions
The thermal decomposition of tetrahydrate iron(II) iodide produces iron(II) hydroxide-iodide, hydrogen iodide, and water:
- FeI2•4H2O → Fe(OH)I + HI + 3 H2O
This reaction takes place at a temperature of over 100 °C.
gollark: I could add that as an actual option, I suppose.
gollark: That was actually a bugged version where it was very slightly biased toward darkness.
gollark: Also, minor apionic issues of some sort.
gollark: It runs with the wondrous performance of javascriptoidal forms.
