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)
-1/2*[S2O32-]/t = [I2]/t = [S4O62-]/t = +1/2 * [I-]/t
[S2O32-]/t = 4.56*10-3/11 = 4.14*10-4 mole/L-sec
-1/2*[S2O32-]/t = +1/2 * [I-]/t
-1/2*[S2O32-]/t = +1/2 * [I-]/t
+1/2 * [I-]/t = -1/2*4.14*10-4 = 2.07*10-4
[I-]/t = 4.14*10-4 mole/L-sec >>>> answer
