The titration of Iodine (I2) against sodium thiosulfate, with starch as the indicator, is one of the mostaccurate of volumetric processes often referred to as Iodometry (Iodimetric Method).
The unusualindicator for iodometric titration is a colloidal dispersion of starch
the presence of iodine ions, gives a deep bluecolor with even minute amounts of free iodine, although the sensitivity is impaired by the presence of certain organicsolvents such as alcohol.
