What exactly happens in the reaction involving powdered aluminum and crushed iodine? I know that adding a few drops of water produces a lot of purple smoke and that it will flare up but what is the chemistry involved? And also, I know that the white residual left in the cup is Al2I6 but why is it acidic when water is added to it? It has a pH of between 1 and 2. What is the smoke that is produced and what causes the exothermic reaction?
