    Standardization of Soduim thiosulphate solution


    Take 50 ml of Sodium Iodate Solution in 250 ml Iodine Flask. Add 2.0 gm Potassium Iodide & 10ml of (1 : 10) HCl. Put Stopper on the flask and allow to react for 5.0 min. Titrate with stock sodium thiosulphate solutio to a pale yellow color. Add 2 5 ml starch indicator, it shall give blue color. Continue Titration up to disappearance of color.

    Standardization of Soduim thiosulphate solution


    Calculate the normality as follows:N = w 103 0.1 OR N= 2.8 W V 35.67 V Where:W = Weight of Potassium Iodate, gm (Primary Standard) V = Volume of Sodium Thiosulphate Solution consumed (ml). 35.67 = Equivalent wt. of Potassium Iodate. N = Normality of Sodium Thiosulphate.
