Hi everyone,
Need your help again to understand the chemistry.
what kind of reaction that possible to convert thiosulfonate --> thiosulfate --> tetrathionate
does it through oxidation? decomposition?
Thank you
From my understanding,
Thioslfinates dissociate into thiosulfonate and disulphide. Then disulphide disproportionating to sulphide and trisulphide. when there is microbial activity, sulphides being oxidized to thiosulfate. When thiosulfate react with iodine, it becomes tetrathionates.
Need someone to clarify this. Is this true?
This is basic redox chemistry. Many standard analytical chemistry textbooks are available and each contains detailed discussion on this particular topic.
Thiosulfonate is converted into tetrationate by oxidation with iodine .It is a analytical basis for iodometric estimation of the compounds.
