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.
