What does IODATE mean in Scrabble?
noun

A salt or ester of iodic acid, containing the ion IO3-.
An iodate forms when iodic acid reacts with a base or metal, and the resulting salts are used in chemistry and industry, including in table salt fortified with an iodate to prevent iodine deficiency. Chemists classify iodate among the oxyanion salts of iodine, related to but distinct from the simpler iodide salts that contain iodine in its more reduced form. The word can also serve as a verb meaning to treat something with iodine, though the noun naming the salt is the more common use.
