1. Hydroiodic acid is currently listed as a Federal DEA List I Chemical.2. Hence hydroiodic acid cannot be concentrated past this point by evaporation of water. 3. Aqueous hydrogen iodide is known as hydroiodic acid , which is a strong acid. 4. Angelic acid reacts with hydrobromic acid and bromine producing hydrochloric and hydroiodic acids , respectively. 5. Clandestine chemists react pseudoephedrine ( recovered from nasal decongestant pills ) with hydroiodic acid and red phosphorus under heat. 6. For example, there is a weak bond between hydrogen and iodine in hydroiodic acid , making it a very strong acid. 7. Hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid , and hydroastatic acid are all strong acids, but hydrofluoric acid is a weak acid. 8. Whereas hydroiodic acid solutions are stable, the hydronium-astatide solution is clearly less stable than the water-hydrogen-astatine system. 9. In the Monsanto process, carbon monoxide and methanol react in the presence of a homogeneous rhodium catalyst and hydroiodic acid to give acetic acid. 10. NiI 2 readily hydrates, and the hydrated form can be prepared by dissolution of nickel oxide, hydroxide, or carbonate in hydroiodic acid .
