How to carry out an iodine/thiosulphate solution?

[Summer :]]

Then determine the purity of potassium iodate (v) ?
very confusing from the book

Ok please bear with me, i will explain in several posts.

Look at your book.

My guidance will help you. The PDF will be attatched in the near future.

jst giv me sum time

Actually, I think that link is good enough to help u understand it.

What in particular do u not understand.

Will reply again in 2 hrs inshallah.

I do not get the purpose of the titration what is the titrant exactly?
the only thing i do get are the ionic equations (thank goodness..)

Thanks By the way ..waiting for the PDF
the thing is the book gives us two ways..as it seems..
Iodine and thiosulfate
the potassium iodide with iodate (V)
are they both combined together or we should use one of them?

[Saladin]

the titrant is iodine thio sulfate, and wat they are basically trying to find out is the purity of potassium iodate(V).

now, the idea is that you have find the purity of a compound.

Now, the idea of finding out the purity is simply to make u understand redox, and combine it with how you can get iodine out.

This is simply another experiment with halogens.
