Abstract
TAKEN together, Sugawara and Terada's experiment A and Johannesson's evidence form more cogent reasons for believing iodate to be the oxidized form of iodine in the sea than the reasons we presented for believing hypoiodous acid to be the oxidized form. However, as we indicated, the volatility of iodine from sea water seems to demand that a large part of the iodine should be in the form of hypoiodite. Unless the volatility can be explained quantitatively in terms of an iodate–iodide mixture, the state of iodine in the sea cannot be considered as satisfactorily settled.
