No. because it contains water of crystallization so it can absorb or release water..
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.
Starch acts as an indicator for the endpoint of the reaction between sodium thiosulphate and potassium iodate, as it forms a blue-black complex with iodine. This color change helps identify when all the iodine has been liberated from the reaction. This method is commonly used in titrations to determine the concentration of the sodium thiosulphate solution accurately.
The chemical symbol for sodium thiosulphate (hypo) is Na2S2O3•5H2O.
The equation between potassium iodate (KIO3) and sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) involves a redox reaction. In the presence of an acid, potassium iodate is reduced to iodine (I2), while sodium thiosulfate is oxidized to form sodium tetrathionate (Na2S4O6). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is 5Na2S2O3 + 2KIO3 + 8HCl → 5Na2S4O6 + 2I2 + 2KCl + 6H2O.
The chemical symbol for sodium thiosulphate (hypo) is Na2S2O3•5H2O.
it is a secondary solution because it can change its concentration by absorbing moisture....
Sodium thiosulphate solution (5-25 %)
Sodium thiosulfate is not conductive because it does not dissociate into ions in solution. It is a non-electrolyte.
Sodium chloride is a crystalline solid but can be dissolved in water to form a solution.

Yes, sodium thiosulfate is soluble in water. It dissolves readily in water to form a clear solution.
Sodium thiosulfate is not considered a primary standard because its purity can be affected by oxidation upon exposure to air, making it difficult to accurately determine its concentration. Additionally, it is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the atmosphere, further affecting its purity and concentration over time.
Primary standard is a chemical entity available with highest purity and stability with high molecular weight. e.g. KHP, NaCl, Calcium salt used in standardisation of volumetric solution. Secondary standards are compounds used in analysis after evaluation against primary standards. e.g.- NaOH VS, Sodium thiosulphate VS
Sodium thiosulphate is typically white in color, appearing as a crystalline powder or solid.
Sodium thiosulfate reacts with iodine to form sodium iodide, sodium tetrathionate, and sulfur dioxide. This reaction is often used in titrations to determine the concentration of iodine in a solution.
· 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.
because sodium thiosulphate is unstable and iodine also so to maintain neutral medium we have to use sodiumcarboate
