Sodium thiosulfate is a compound with a wide range of applications, primarily owing to its ability to react with and neutralize chlorine compounds and its redox properties in chemical reactions. Its uses span across industries including photography, water treatment, medicine, and chemical manufacturing.
The main purpose of adding sodium thiosulfate is to remove the excess iodine from the reaction mixture. This is important because iodine is a strong oxidizing agent and can cause side reactions with the organic compounds in the mixture
