RSPhrases =Zinc iodide is composed of
Zinc andIodine . It is aninorganic compound with amolecular weight of 319.22. It is a white, , odorless solid that absorbs water from the atmosphere and then dissolves into a solution. At 1150°C, zinc iodide vapor dissociates into zinc and iodine.The true value of the empirical formula of zinc iodide is ZnI2.Zinc iodide is often used as an
x-ray opaque penetrant in industrialradiography to improve the contrast between the damage and intact composite.United States
