Sodium sulfite is oxidised when it reacts with excess iodine. Na2SO3(aq) + I2(aq) + H2O(l) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2HI(aq) The remaining iodine is then titrated using aqueous sodium thiosulfate. I2(aq) + 2Na2S2O3(aq) → Na2S4O6(aq) + 2NaI(aq) You will determine the integer value of x in the formula of hydrated sodium sulfite, Na2SO3•xH2O, by titration. FA 4 is aqueous sodium thiosulfate containing 14.24 g of Na2S2O3 in 1.00dm³. FA 5 is aqueous iodine, prepared as shown. • 5.00 g of hydrated sodium sulfite is added to 600 cm³ of 0.100 mol dm¯³ aqueous iodine. • The mixture is allowed to stand to ensure that all the sodium sulfite has been oxidised. • The mixture containing the remaining iodine is made up to 1.00 dm³ with distilled water. FA 6 is starch indicator.
