MCQ
The indicator used in the titration of iodine against sodium thiosulphate is
  • Starch
  • B
    ${K_3}Fe{(CN)_6}$
  • C
    ${K_2}Cr{O_4}$
  • D
    Potassium

Answer

Correct option: A.
Starch
a
In an iodometric titration, a starch solution is used as an indicator since it can absorb the $I _2$ that is released. This absorption will cause the solution to change its colour from deep blue to light yellow when titrated with a standardized thiosulfate solution. This indicates the endpoint of the titration.
