Typically it is available as the white or colorless pentahydrate, Na2S2O3·5H2O. The solid is an efflorescent (loses water readily) crystalline substance that dissolves well in water.[2] Sodium thiosulfate is used in gold mining, water treatment, analytical chemistry, the development of silver-based photographic film and prints, and medicine. The medical uses of sodium thiosulfate include treatment of cyanide poisoning and pityriasis.[3] It is on the world health organization's List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system.[4] Medical uses: Main article: Sodium thiosulfate (medical use) Sodium thiosulfate is used in the treatment of cyanide poisoning.[3] Other uses include topical treatment of ringworm and tinea versicolor,[3][5] and treating some side effects of hemodialysis[6] and chemotherapy.[7] Requirements: Apparatus : Burette, Volumetric flask, Pipette. Reagents : 0.1 N sodium thiosulphate, Potassium iodate, Potassium iodide PRINCIPLE: The principle of standardization of sodium thiosulphate is based on redox iodometric titration with potassium iodate as primary standard. Potassium iodate a strong oxidizing agent is treated with excess potassium iodide in acidic media which liberates iodine which is back titrated with sodium thioslphate. Uniformity of reactions between iodine and sodium thiosulphate forms basis for utilizing the standard solution of iodine in the analysis of sodium thiosulphate and use of sodium thiosulphate in the analysis of iodine. Starch indicator is used as indicator showing disappearance of blue color. KIO3 + 5KI + 3H2SO4 → 3K2SO4 + 3H2O I2 + 2Na2S2O3 → 2NaI + Na2S4O6 Procedure: Preparation of 0.1N Sodium thiosulphate Dissolve 24.8g of sodium thiosulphate pentahydrate(Na2S2O3.5H2O) in 800 ml of freshly boiled and cooled water and mix thoroughly by shaking for approximately 15 minutes. Make up the volume to 1000 ml. Preparation of 0.1N Potassium Iodate Weigh accurately about 356 mg of KIO3 and dissolve in 100 ml distilled water Preparation of Starch indicator Take 1 gm of soluble starch and triturate with 5 ml of water and add it to 100 ml of boiling water containing 10 mg of mercuric iodide with continous stirring Standardisation of 0.1N sodium thiosulphate Take 10 ml of Potassium Iodate solution .Add 2 gm of Potassium Iodide and 5 ml of dilute H2SO4 ,keep it in dark for 10 minutes, add 2 to 3 drops of starch indicator and titrate with sodium thiosulphate using starch solution as indicator until the blue colour is disappeared. N 1V1 = N 2V 2 N 2 = N 1V 1 V 2 Report: The strength of the given solution of sodium thiosulphate is ……… The process steps for the experiment are illustrated in pictures:- 1- Prepare the standard solutions and the Potassium Iodate solution in laboratory. 2- Titration 3- Calculate the experiment: N 1V1 = N 2V 2 N 2 = N 1V 1 V 2 4- Writing a report on the experiment. .
