we already figured it out. I2 isn't red or brown. it's violet or purple.
my reaction was to first make HI(aq). as i see it, HI(g), a red/brown gas, was evolved with the possibility of a little bromine (another red/brown gas) as well as a little H2S and a bit of SO2. i didn't have a precipitate so there is no iodine. the solution probably is concentrated hydroiodic acid, come to think of it. in such a case, i'd better get rid of it before the feds come in thinking i am starting a meth lab:\
yes, i believe it was exothermic
yeah i know but i don't have enough money for that
