Iodometry is a type of redox titration used to determine the concentration of an oxidizing agent. It involves the reaction of an oxidizing agent with iodide ions (I⁻) to produce iodine (I₂). The liberated iodine is then titrated with a standard solution of sodium thiosulfate (Na₂S₂O₃).

Here's a breakdown of the process:

1. Oxidation of Iodide: The unknown oxidizing agent reacts with excess potassium iodide (KI) to produce iodine (I₂). Example reaction: 2Cu²⁺(aq) + 4I⁻(aq) → 2CuI(s) + I₂(aq)

2. Titration of Iodine: The liberated iodine is then titrated with a standard solution of sodium thiosulfate. A starch indicator is used, which turns blue-black in the presence of iodine and becomes colorless when all the iodine has reacted. Reaction: I₂(aq) + 2S₂O₃²⁻(aq) → 2I⁻(aq) + S₄O₆²⁻(aq)

3. Calculation: By knowing the volume and concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution used, and using the stoichiometry of the reactions, the concentration of the original oxidizing agent can be calculated.
