OCI^- (aq, colorless) +21^-1 (aq,colorless)+2H3O^+ (aq)----->I2 (aq,brown)+CI^-1 (aq,colorless)+3H2O (l) /////////////////////////// The reaction in Eq proceeds to completion. Visible evidence of reaction is the change in appearance of the solution from colorless to brown, due to formation of iodine. In the presence of excess I^- ion the amount of I2 formed is a measure of the amount of OCI^- ion reacting. Then we determine the amount of I2 formbed by titrating the I2 with a standard sodium thiosulfate solution (Na2S2O3). The titration reaction for this experiment is shown in Eq 2. ///////////////////// I2 (aq,brown)+S2O3^2- (aq,colorless)---->2I^- (aq,colorless)+S4O6^2- (aq,colorless) (PAGE 153-154)

Explain how the endpoint is made more distinct for this titration, list the indicator used and the color change that occurs.
page=154//// As the titration proceeds the I2 concentraion in the solution decreases. This causes the solution color to change from brown to pale yellow near the end of titration. The END POINT occurs when all the I2 has reacted and the solution is colorless, because the change from pale yellow to colorless is not very distinct, establishing the end point on the basis of this final color is challenging. We can make the end point MORE DISTINCT by adding small amount of STARCH Solution to the titration mixture when the solution turns pale yellow.
