Thiosulfatebased
Thiosulfate-based refers to chemical compounds or processes that utilize the thiosulfate ion, S2O3(2-), as a key component. The thiosulfate ion is a polyatomic anion derived from thionic acid, where one oxygen atom of the sulfate ion (SO4(2-)) is replaced by a sulfur atom. It is characterized by a central sulfur atom bonded to three oxygen atoms and one additional sulfur atom.
Thiosulfate-based chemistry finds widespread application in various fields. In photography, sodium thiosulfate, commonly known as "hypo,"
In analytical chemistry, thiosulfate is employed in iodometry, a quantitative method used to determine the concentration
Beyond these classic applications, thiosulfate-based solutions are also utilized in water treatment for the dechlorination of
