Question:
For use in analytical chemistry, sodium thiosulfate solutions must be carefully prepared. In particular, the solutions must be kept from becoming acidic. In strongly acidic solutions, thiosulfate ion disproportionates into SO2(g) and S8(s).
Show that the disproportionation of S2O32–(aq) is spontaneous for standard-state conditions in acidic solution, but not in basic solution.

During the course of my study, I have worked as a private tutor. I have taught Maths and Physics to O'Level and A'Level students, as well as I have also taught basic engineering courses to my juniors in the university. Engineering intrigues me alot because it a world full of ideas. I have passionately taught students and this made me learn alot. Teaching algebra and basic calculus, from the very basics of it made me very patient. Therefore, I know many tricks to make your work easier for you. I believe that every student has a potential to work himself. I am just here to polish your skills. I am a bright student in my university. My juniors are always happy from me because I help in their assignments and they are never late.
