What do you call a solution that is maid by mixing solid Na2S2O3 5H20 with NaOH?
Also, what is the complete balanced equation for mixing the above solution with an aqueous solution of NaClO?
Thanks anyone!
The solution that is made by mixing solid Na2S2O3 5H2O with NaOH is called a sodium thiosulfate solution.
To find the complete balanced equation for mixing the sodium thiosulfate solution with an aqueous solution of NaClO, we need to know the reaction that occurs between these compounds.
The reaction between sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) can be written as follows:
2 Na2S2O3 (aq) + NaClO (aq) → 2 NaCl (aq) + Na2S4O6 (aq)
This equation represents the reaction between sodium thiosulfate and sodium hypochlorite, which results in the formation of sodium chloride and sodium tetrathionate.
To balance this equation, we need to ensure that the same number of each type of atom appears on both sides of the equation. In this case, the equation is already balanced.
