What is the use of Sodium thiosulphate in iodometry?

In iodometry sodium thiosulphate is used because it is standardized by potassium dichromate and it is the best and relaible way to standardized sodium thiosulphate using iodometric titration. Infact sodium thiosulphate is also standardized by iodimetry. The difference between both of them is only of iodine. In iodometry iodine gas is liberated that will further react with sodium thiosulphate but in iodimetry standard solution of iodine is used.


Equation between potassium iodate and sodium thiosulphate?

This reaction may be misunderstood as a direct reaction between the thiosulphate and iodate ions , however, in practice an iodide and acid mediated production of iodine from the iodate is used to react with the thiosulphate. A standard reaction used to calibrate a solution of sodium thiosulphate is as follows: Acid and potassium iodide are added to a solution of potassium iodate getting the following reaction: KIO3 + 5KI + 3H2SO4 = 3I2 + 3K2SO4 + 3H2O represented by the following ionic equation: IO3- + 5I- + 6H+ = 3I2 + 3H2O Thiosulpathe is titrated against this solution (effectively against iodine): I2 + 2Na2S2O3 = Na2S4O6 + 2NaI represented by the following ionic equation: I2 + 2S2O32- = S4O62- + 2I- where the dark brown coloured solution of iodine turns pale yellow and finally colourless as the reaction proceeds (starch is used as indicator after the pale yellow transition forming a black solution due to an iodine-starch complex which turns colourless upon further addition of thiosulphate).


Why is sodium thiosulphate used in iodometric titration?

· In analytical chemistry, sodium thiosulphate is used for the determination of the strength of a given solution of iodine. · Sodium thiosulphate is preferred in iodometric analysis due to the fact that sodium thiosulphate is oxidized by iodine. It is also used to determine the strength of many oxidizing agents.


How is iodine estimated in ccl4 and h2o layer?

Titrate each solution separately with solution of known concentration of sodium thiosulphate. The titre value will give the amount of thiosulphate reacted with iodine, hence you can find concentration of iodine.


What is the indicator for starch?

Iodine. Iodine forms a complex with the amylose chains, forming a nice bright blue color.


If chlorine gas is bubbled through an aqueous solution of sodium iodide the result is elemental iodine and aqueous sodium chloride solution what kind of reaction took place?

What is the procedure for the preparation of aqueous iodine solution?

side effect of iodine


Why use sodium Bicarbonate for titration of sodium thiosulphate using pottasium dicromate?

because sodium thiosulphate is unstable and iodine also so to maintain neutral medium we have to use sodiumcarboate

Why does a aqueous solution of iodine not react with sodium bromide?

Bromine is more reactive than iodine/bromine is higher in the activity series than iodine
