EX/Cupper(I)Iodide *What was happen if excess amount of potassium iodide and sodium thiosulfate added?

*How can increase rate of the reaction?

*What is role of the product washing by water, ethanol and ether?​

is not formed in this reaction.

Hence, the option B is incorrect and option A is correct.

The liberated iodine is titrated with sodium thiosulphate to form sodium tetrathionate.
