How to Determine the Concentration of I2 in a Solution Experimentally?

Click For Summary
To standardize a 0.005M iodine (I2) solution, a titration method is recommended. The process involves using a suitable titrant, typically sodium thiosulfate, to determine the exact concentration of the iodine solution. It is crucial to understand the chemistry behind iodometric titration, which includes the reduction of iodine to iodide ions. The procedure should not include adding the indicator at the beginning, as this can lead to inaccurate results. For detailed guidance, resources like the iodometric titration standardization link provide clearer explanations and step-by-step instructions for the titration process.

Hi,
We have been supplied an Iodine (I2) solution 0.005M.for an experiment but we are supposed to standardize the iodine solution (which i guess means that to find the exact concentration of the I2 solution)
My idea is that we should do a titaration,but I don't know how to or what to do.

So if you could please tell me how to find the concentration of I2 experimentally that would be great.
Thanks

Previous link doesn't make much sense - it doesn't explain neither the chemistry behind nor the procedure (not to mention the fact it incorrectly suggests adding the indicator at the beginning of the titration, and it doesn't deal with the standardization procedure). Try

Thread 'Gold hydride - what is the significance?'

I came.across a headline and read some of the article, so I was curious. Scientists discover that gold is a 'reactive metal' by accidentally creating a new material in the lab https://www.earth.com/news/discovery-that-gold-is-reactive-metal-by-creating-gold-hydride-in-lab-experiment/ From SLAC - A SLAC team unexpectedly formed gold hydride in an experiment that could pave the way for studying materials under extreme conditions like those found inside certain planets and stars undergoing...
