200g AQUARIUM DECHLORINATOR - SODIUM THIOSULPHATE - THIOSULFATE

Description

200G Sodium Thiosulphate USES In the tanning of leather. To dechlorinate tap water for aquariums or treat effluent from waste water treatments prior to release into rivers. The reduction reaction is analogous to the iodine reduction reaction. Treatment of tap water requires between 0.1 grams and 0.3 grams of pentahydrated (crystalline) sodium thiosulfate per 10 liters of water. in foot baths for prophylaxis of ringworm, and as a topical antifungal agent for tinea versicolor. Photographic processing Gold extraction It is used as an antidote to cyanide poisoning It has also been used as treatment of calciphylaxis in hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease It is used in the management of extravasations during chemotherapy. in measuring the volume of extracellular body fluid and the renal glomerular filtration rate. As a component in hand warmers and other chemical heating pads that produce heat by exothermic crystallization of a supercooled solution. In bleach To lower chlorine levels in swimming pools and spas following super chlorination. To remove iodine stains, e.g. after the explosion of nitrogen triiodide. In bacteriological water assessment. To demonstrate the concept of supercooling in physics classes. Melted sodium thiosulfate is very easy to overcool to room temperature and when crystallization is forced, the sudden temperature jump to 48.3 °C can be experienced by touch. As part of patina recipes for copper alloys. Often used in pharmaceutical preparations as an anionic surfactant to aid in dispersion. It can also be used as a very interesting solute in supersaturation experiments. As an ingredient to table salt, e.g. Sysco Corporation's small packets of Iodized Salt
