Sodium thiosulfate, Na 2S 2O 3, is used as a "fixer" in black and white photography. Identify the reducing agent in the reaction

Tatiana [17]

Answer: Reducing agent in the given reaction is $S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}$ .

Explanation:

A reducing agent is defined as an element which tends to lose electrons to other element leading to an increase in its oxidation number.

In the given reaction, oxidation state of sulfur in $S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}$ is +2 and $I_{2}(aq)$ has 0 oxidation state.

In $S_{4}O^{2-}_{6}(aq)$ oxidation state of S is 2.5 and in $2I^{-}(aq)$ oxidation state of I is -1.

Since, an increase in oxidation state of S is occurring from +2 to +2.5. Hence, it is acting as a reducing agent.

Thus, we can conclude that reducing agent in the given reaction is $S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}$ .

Heat Transfer Lab

The following represents a lab set up for heat transfer. The cup on the left started with boiling water at 100 degrees C and the cup on the right has water at 20 degrees C. There is an aluminum bar between the two cups allowing heat to transfer from one cup into the other. The set up will be left alone for 20 minutes and temperatures of each cup of water will be recorded every minute for 20 minutes.
