1. Firstly wash out a burette twice with distilled water.
2. Clean the washed burette with the approximately 0.1 mol dm-3 standardised sodium thiosulphate, which is going to be prepared.
3. Fill the burette with approximately 0.1 mol dm-3 standardised sodium thiosulphate, until the bottom of the meniscus is at the 0 cm3 mark on the burette.
4. Pipette 25cm3 of 0.020 mol dm-3 potassium Iodate solution into a 250 cm3 conical flask.
5. Using a 10cm3 measuring cylinder, measure out 10cm3 of 0.5 mol dm-3 potassium iodide and add it to the conical flask.
6. Using a 10cm3 measuring cylinder, measure out 10cm3of 1 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid and add it to the conical flask.
At this stage the three solutions will be mixed together in the conical flask, to produce iodine.
7. Record the initial reading on the burette (0 cm3) to work out the titre, record this to two decimal places
8. Turn the burette tap, so the 0.1 mol dm-3 sodium thiosulphate pours into the iodine in the conical flask (adding small amounts and then stirring the conical flask)
9. When the red/brown iodine solution in the flask turns yellow, stop titrating the 0.1 mol dm-3 sodium thiosulphate into the flask
10. Add a few drops of the starch indicator to the conical flask; it will turn dark blue/black colour to intensify the colour change.
11. Turn the burette tap back on, add the 0.1 mol dm-3 sodium thiosulphate drop wise, whilst swirling the flask, until the dark blue/black colour disappears.
12. Record the final burette reading, from the point where the bottom of the meniscus is.
13. Record the result in the table, and then calculate the titre value by finding the difference between the initial reading and the final reading.
14. Repeat the titration to obtain concordant results, whereby the titre is 0.1 cm3 difference at max.
15. Obtain all your results and present them in a table, to two decimal places.
In this titration method, a solution of potassium iodate is used as the titrant to determine the concentration of sodium thiosulfate solution. It involves adding potassium iodate to sodium thiosulfate solution until the reaction is complete, as indicated by the disappearance of the starch-iodine complex's blue color. The reaction is:
5Na2S2O3 + 2KIO3 + 2H2SO4 -> 2Na2SO4 + K2SO4 + 5I2 + 5H2O.
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.
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).
Sodium thiosulfate is used in iodometry to titrate iodine, which allows for the determination of the concentration of substances that react with iodine. It serves as a reducing agent that reacts with iodine to form iodide ions in a redox reaction. This reaction is commonly used in analytical chemistry to quantify the amount of oxidizing agents present in a solution.
The chemical symbol for sodium thiosulfate is Na2S2O3.

Starch
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.
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).
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.
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.
In redox titration using sodium thiosulfate and potassium iodate, the iodate ion (IO3-) is reduced to iodine (I2) by thiosulfate ion (S2O32-). The iodine formed is then titrated with sodium thiosulfate until the endpoint is reached, indicated by a color change from yellow to colorless when all the iodine is reacted. This method is commonly used to determine the concentration of oxidizing agents in a sample.
Sodium iodate is NaIO3.
Generally used are potassium iodide or iodate; rarely used sodium iodide or iodate. Also added is an anticaking agent.
Yes, iodized salt is a mixture of sodium chloride (common salt) and a small amount of potassium iodide, which is added to prevent iodine deficiency in the diet. It helps support thyroid function and prevent related health issues.
Added substanstes to table salt are iodine (as potassium/sodium iodate or iodide) and an anticaking substance.
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.
