Production
editSilver iodate can be obtained by reacting silver nitrate (AgNO3) with sodium iodate or potassium iodate. The by-product of the reaction is sodium nitrate.[2]
Alternatively, it can be created by the action of iodine in a solution of silver oxide.
Uses
editSilver iodate is used to detect traces of chlorides in blood.[citation needed]

Silver nitrate reacts with iodate to form the precipitate of silver iodate, and the precipitate is transferred to silver nitrate.
