S₂O₈²⁻
(aq) + 2I⁻
(aq) → I₂(aq) + 2SO₄

2S₂O₃²⁻
(aq) + I₂(aq) → S₄O₆²⁻
(aq) + 2I⁻
(aq)
<u>Explanation:</u>
S₂O₈²⁻
(aq) + 2I⁻
(aq) → I₂(aq) + 2SO₄
²⁻(aq)
To measure the rate of this reaction we must measure the rate of concentration change of one of the reactants or products. To do this, we will include (to the reacting S₂O₈
²⁻ and I⁻
i) a small amount of sodium thiosulfate, Na₂S₂O₃,
ii) some starch indicator.
The added Na₂S₂O₃ does not interfere with the rate of above reaction, but it does consume the I₂ as soon as it is formed.
2S₂O₃²⁻
(aq) + I₂(aq) → S₄O₆²⁻
(aq) + 2I⁻
(aq)
This reaction is much faster than the previous, so the conversion of I2 back to I⁻ is essentially instantaneous.
