I would guess that this is so because of potassium's mass, being much more than, sodium's molar mass per ion. So can sodium iodide be used instead of potassium iodide? Perhaps, but maybe not to the same level effectiveness. Potassium molecules have been known to dissolve better than sodium molecules. One example is Potassium Chloride and Sodium Chloride thanks
The compound is called Potassium Iodide (-ide.. not -ine).

KI is potassium iodide.
Potassium iodide is the compound. It is composed of two elements viz. Potassium and Iodine.
Iodometric titration means the titration of triiodide. Preparation of triiodide can be prepared by adding solid iodine to excess potassium iodide, however since iodine sublimes it is more difficult to weigh than potassium iodate. The triiodide would then need to be standardized with primary standard grade arsenious oxide. A better way is to weigh potassium iodate and add to a small excess of potassium iodide. The two ions (iodide and iodate) will also form the needed triiodide in an acidic environment. If the reagent is made fresh this way it can be used to standardize thiosulfate. Iodide iodate of known normality can also be used to titrate unknown concentrations of sulfite. For example, steam boiler treatment applications.
Not usually. Potassium iodide is usually present in a large excess. It is usually the potassium iodate that is the limiting ingredient.
KI or potassium iodide. See the related link for more information.
Potassium iodide is not an adhesive.
Potassium iodide is KI (K+ and I-)
Potassium iodide = KI

iodine& grams iodine Gram's iodine is a solution of 2% iodine and 3% potassium iodide in 70% ethanol. Gram's iodine is also used as a forensic toxicology reagent for the detection of alkaloids, as a source of iodine for iodometric titrations, as an indicator for the presence of starch, and as a general laboratory source of iodine/iodide. This solution is laboratory grade, and not for medicinal use. Iodine is non metallic,dark gray,lustrous,solid element
Potassium iodide (KI) contain iodine and potassium.
Potassium iodide is ionic.
KI is potassium iodide.
No, like all potassium compounds potassium iodide is ionic.
