:Talk:Hydrogen iodide

Under 'Properties of hydrogen iodide' it says: "One liter of water will dissolve 425 liters of HI [...]"

Isn't it a bit unclear what is meant here (bear in mind I'm no chemist)? Is it 425 liters of (gaseous) HI at 20 degrees celsius? Gaseous HI has, I presume, a fairly low density which would mean 425 liters of HI isn't very much.

:425 is quite a lot, assuming normal pressure and temperature. It is almost 20 moles, or more than 2 kilograms. --Itub (talk) 14:07, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

It's HI gas - I've checked the source, and it makes sense to me as a BS.c. in chemistry. I added "gas" after "... 425 liters of HI ..."

425 litres of any gas is not meaningful without further qualification. You should include ideally density (e.g. molar density per litre) or temperature and pressure (e.g. SLC: 25deg C @ 1 atm). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.146.136.8 (talk) 09:30, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Why are our articles on HF, HCl, and HBr split along these lines, but not that on HI? Double sharp (talk) 01:47, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Hey everyone, what are your thoughts about changing the lead sentence in some articles of non-organic chemical compounds to be seemed consistently? I have made two changes to this article and was all restored. Do your mind agree with the form: [Chemical compound name] is an inorganic chemical compound; it has the formula [Chemical formula symbol], link the word formula and bolden the formula symbol? 14.185.203.27 (talk) 14:49, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

:MOS policy at WP:CHEMNAME says that bold in lead is reserved for common names not used in the article title (see Phenol), and the chemical formula should instead be displayed with the {{tl|Chem2}} template. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish•growths)} 14:54, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

:::Oppose inorganic chemical compound as it is simple and unnecessary and removes useful descriptors as diatomic molecule and hydrogen halide. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish•growths)} 14:58, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

::::Yes, I agree your point. But I have to say that I might make the article inconsistent; therefore, readers cannot get the fact in a balanced way. 14.185.203.27 (talk) 15:00, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

::::From my experience, readers may definitely know what hydrogen halide is; therefore, we shouldn't explain what this chemical compound relate to or a halogen gas. 2001:EE0:4BC2:C190:74A5:B633:51B2:265D (talk) 02:54, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

::::Your statement at the top of the section says you want to make wide changes to leads concerning multiple articles. You should first not seek consensus about that on this talk page about one article, but instead start an RfC at the Village Pump (proposals) section as it will have an effect on multiple articles, and allows other editors to weigh in. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish•growths)} 15:12, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
