Double-checking reaction
« on: October 09, 2005, 12:32:56 PM »
The reaction is between sodium Hypochlorite and Sodium Thiosulfate. I came up with the net ionic equation:

2S2O32-  +  ClO-  +  H2O  -->  S4O62-  +  Cl-  +  2OH-

Is this equation correct?

if it's in basic environment (which it is) then the reaction is correct.
