I want to oxidate sodium thiosulfate to sulfate without using a reactor. The sample is composed of 7300 ppm thiosulfate, 9600 ppm sulfate and 5400 ppm chlorine

An undergrad question..find a suitable oxidising agent... typical answer is Potassium permangamate (acidic conditions) as an oxidant. However, for your problem you might be better with using bubbling Cl2 or titrating Br2 into the solution. Much less mess in the work up as you could just evaporate the reagents. Best wishes
