The iodine produced from the KIO3 reacts with the starch to produce the blue black colour used as the indicator
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).
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.
Because it used to be called Sodium hyposulphite.
Because it is :)
Sodium Thiosulphate is Na2S2O3 and water is H2O.
(1) io3- + 5i- + 6h+ ® 3i2 + 3h2o (2) i2 + 2s2o32- ® 2i- + s4o62-
Iodine is added to salt as potassium (sodium) iodide or potassium (sodium) iodate. An iodine deficiency is a source of thyroide diseases or can lead to idiocy.
Almost yes, but it may sometimes contain Potassium iodate, Sodium iodate or Sodium iodide in place of Potassium iodide
No, it can turn it green.

Iodine in the iodized salt exist as iodine salts (potassium iodide/iodate or sodium iodide/iodate).These salts are dissolved and dissociated in the organism as NaCl.

Sodium iodate is NaIO3.
Generally used are potassium iodide or iodate; rarely used sodium iodide or iodate. Also added is an anticaking agent.
Iodised salt (sodium chloride) contain iodine (as potassium/sodium iodide or potassium/sodium iodate). The concentration of iodine is 20 +/- 5 mg/kg. Iodised salt is recommended to avoid idiocy.
Added substanstes to table salt are iodine (as potassium/sodium iodate or iodide) and an anticaking substance.
NaClWhile normal table salt is sodium chloride (NaCl), iodized salt has additives which supply iodine. These additives might include sodium iodide (NaI), potassium iodide (KI) or sodium or potassium iodate (NaIO3 or KIO3).
