Account for the addition of sodium carbonate in titrant preparation.

Why the titrant was prepared on the Day 2 of the experiment, unlike others?
Give the side reactions that may happen if the reagent addition was not sequential.
Account for the delay of the reaction in standardization, especially if the red solution was not

titrated immediately.
5. Give the pertinent chemical equations and stoichiometry in the standardization of Na2S2O3.
6. Explain the purpose of the addition of H2SO4 and excess KI during standardization and why
the acid was added before KI.
7. Give the pertinent chemical equations and stoichiometry in the sample analysis.
8. Explain stepwise how I3 was produced from the dissolved O2 in water sample. Explain briefly
why the reagents are added in a definite sequence.
9. Give the reason why starch was used as the indicator in this analysis and why it was added
towards the
