Adding (S2O3)2- would affect the reaction mechanism that involves this ion. From the reaction mechanism given above, the equilibrium of step 2 would be affected. Adding the stock solution of (S2O3)2- would shift the equilibrium to the right thus making more products of the said mechanism. Also, the reaction rate of this step would occur faster than the original rate. This is based on Le Chatelier's Prinicple which states that a corresponding change would happen to the equilibrium of a reaction when pressure, concentration of the substances or temperature is changed. So, that after the addition, a color change would appear immediately because I3- would be removed slowly from solution, and would therefore be able to react with starch.

Answer:
71.372 g or 0.7 moles
Explanation:
We are given;
- Moles of Aluminium is 1.40 mol
- Moles of Oxygen 1.35 mol
We are required to determine the theoretical yield of Aluminium oxide
The equation for the reaction between Aluminium and Oxygen is given by;
4Al(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Al₂O₃(s)
From the equation 4 moles Al reacts with 3 moles of oxygen to yield 2 moles of Aluminium oxide.
Therefore;
1.4 moles of Al will require 1.05 moles (1.4 × 3/4) of oxygen
1.35 moles of Oxygen will require 1.8 moles (1.35 × 4/3) of Aluminium
Therefore, Aluminium is the rate limiting reagent in the reaction while Oxygen is the excess reactant.
4 moles of aluminium reacts to generate 2 moles aluminium oxide.
Therefore;
Mole ratio Al : Al₂O₃ is 4 : 2
Thus;
Moles of Al₂O₃ = Moles of Al × 0.5
= 1.4 moles × 0.5
= 0.7 moles
But; 1 mole of Al₂O₃ = 101.96 g/mol
Thus;
Theoretical mass of Al₂O₃ = 0.7 moles × 101.96 g/mol
= 71.372 g
