Explore: Tetrathionate

The tetrathionate anion, S 4O2− 6, is a sulfur oxyanion derived from the compound tetrathionic acid, H2S4O6. Two of the sulfur atoms present in the ion

Sodium tetrathionate is a salt of sodium and tetrathionate with the formula Na2S4O6.xH2O. The salt normally is obtained as the dihydrate (x = 2). It is

and dusk.[citation needed] Thiosulfate ions react with iodine to give tetrathionate ions: 2 S2O2−3 + I2 → S4O2−6 + 2 I− This reaction is key for iodometry

elemental sulfur, sulfite, thiosulfate, and various polythionates (e.g., tetrathionate). They depend on enzymes such as sulfur oxygenase and sulfite oxidase

mixotrophic bacteria only oxidize thiosulfate to tetrathionate. The mechanism of bacterial oxidation of tetrathionate is still unclear and may involve sulfur disproportionation

oxidizability of thiosulfate anion by iodine. The reaction produces tetrathionate: 2 S2O2−3 + I2 → S4O2−6 + 2 I− Due to the quantitative nature of this
