When performing an ascorbic acid titration with iodine solution, iodine and potassium iodide are used. Does the potassium iodide react with the ascorbic acid as well or only the iodine?
Thanks

Iodine Solution, also known as Lugol's Solution, is a chemical compound made up of iodine and potassium iodide in water. It is commonly used in laboratory experiments and as an antiseptic.
Iodine Solution is often used as a staining agent in microbiology experiments to help visualize bacteria and other microorganisms under a microscope. It can also be used as an indicator in chemical reactions.
Iodine Solution has strong antimicrobial properties, making it an effective antiseptic for treating wounds, cuts, and scrapes. It is also less likely to cause skin irritation compared to other antiseptics.
No, Iodine Solution should not be ingested as it can be toxic in large amounts. It is meant for external use only. Ingestion of Iodine Solution can lead to stomach upset, nausea, and other harmful side effects.
Iodine Solution should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is also important to keep it out of reach of children and pets as it can be harmful if ingested. Additionally, it should be stored in a tightly sealed container to prevent evaporation.
