The thiosulfate ion (S2O32-) is oxidized by iodine as follows: 2S2O32-(aq) + I2(aq) → S4O62-(aq) + 2I-(aq) In a certain experiment, 4.56×10-3 mol/L of S2O32- is consumed in the first 11.0 seconds of the reaction. Calculate the rate of production of iodide ion.
2S2O32-(aq) + I2(aq) → S4O62-(aq) + 2I-(aq)
