Simple Redox Reactions
« on: March 02, 2009, 05:01:09 AM »
Hello i was just wondering if someone would be able to help me out with this Chemistry question.

I can do all the others on the assignment but this one :(

Iodine is a reduced when it reacts with thiosulfate ion S2O3-2. The thiosulfate is oxidized to tetrathionate ion S4O6-2

If anyone could help me that would be great or at least point me in the right direction.

I2 + S2O32- = S4O62- + ?
