Formulas:
Cl2 (g) + 2OH- (aq) → ClO- (aq) + Cl- (aq) + H2O (l)
2H+ (aq) + ClO- (aq) + 2I- (aq) → Cl- (aq) + I2 (aq) + H2O (l)
I2 (aq) + I- (aq) → I3- (aq)
I3- (aq) + 2S2O32- (aq) → 3I- (aq) + S4O62- (aq)
Given: Molarity of Na2S2O3 0.125 M
Initial Buret Reading (Na2S2O3) 1.50 mL
Final Buret Reading (Na2S2O3) 14.35 mL
The reaction of triiodide with thiosulfate produces the dithionate ion, S4O6 2-. Calculate the oxidation number for sulfur in this ion. Calculate (and show your work) the average oxidation number of S in this ion.
