Abstract:
When we standardize sodium thiosulphate solution either by iodometry or by a iodimetry, we base our understanding on
While addressing the freshmen students, especially during the pre-experimental lectures, we teach them the computation of equivalent weight of sodium thiosulfate (hypo); this necessitates the knowledge of the difference in oxidation state of sulphur atoms in the product (2.5) and the reactant side (2.0); the difference in oxidation state of sulphur atoms is 0.5. The overtly observable query which occurs to the students is, “Is the equivalent weight and molecular weight of sodium thiosulphate same or different?” If yes, then the change in the oxidation state apparently does not conform to the difference, 0.5. This article deals with this apparently simple but extremely perplexing question.
