Iodine and Sodium Thiosulfate Titration

I2 + 2Na2S2O3 → Na2S4O6 + 2NaI

概要

Iodine oxidizes thiosulfate to tetrathionate while being reduced to iodide. This is the basis of iodometric titration, one of the most important analytical techniques in chemistry. Starch indicator turns blue-black with iodine and becomes colorless at the endpoint when all I₂ is consumed.
