Best Answer

One way is to react hot aqeous solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH) with sulphur (S). The products will be K2S3, K2S2O3 (potassium thiosulphate) and H2O. Answer by aditya rajesh, 8th student at millennium school in dubai.

What is the procedure for the standardization of sodium thiosulfate?

Thiosulfate can be standardised by adding excess potassium iodide solution to a known volume of a standard acidified solution of potassium dichromate, and then titrating the liberated iodine against the sodium thiosulfate solution.http://www.meduniv.lviv.ua/files/kafedry/tokshim/English/Analytical/Manuals_Analytchem/Iodometry.pdf

How many moles of Na2S2O3 react with one mole of KClO3 used in the standardization?

Standardization of sodium thiosulfate uses potassium iodate with excess potassium iodide and acidified. Iodine is liberated and that is titrated with sodium thiosulfate. KIO3 + 5KI + 3H2SO4 -----> 3K2SO4 + 3H2O + 3 I2 I2 + 2Na2S2O3 -------> 2NaI + Na2S4O6 So 1 mole of KIO3 produces 3 moles of Iodine. 1 moles of iodine reacts with 2 moles of thiosulfate. So 6 moles of sodium thiosulfate react with 1 mole of potassium iodate KIO3.


What is the name of ionic compound K2S2O3?

How do you make k2cr2o4 solution?

It is prepared by roasting powdered chromite with potash and limestone, treating the cinder with a hot potassium sulfate solution and leaching.Alternatively, it may be prepared by the reaction of potassium dichromate and potassium hydroxide.


Can potassium chloride be prepared from zinc and hydrogen chloride?

No, reacting zinc with hydrogen chloride will yield zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Potassium chloride can be prepared by reacting potassium with hydrogen chloride or (more safely) potassium hydroxide with hydrogen chloride.


Does potassium iodide react with sodium carbonate?

The only known and possible reaction is the following redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction between I3- (Iodine-Iodide complex) and S2O32- (thiosulfate)I3- + 2 S2O32- --> 3 I- + S4O62-ox. + red.So the reaction between potassium iodide (KI) and potassium thiosulfate (K2S2O3) is NOT possible because they both are reductors (electron donors).Iodine-Iodide complex is essentially Iodine is an oxidator, bound to a non-reacting I- ion (Iodide)
