The wt% of Na2S2O3 in sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate can be calculated using the following formula:
wt% Na2S2O3 = (mass of Na2S2O3 / mass of sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate) x 100%
The molar mass of Na2S2O3 is 158.11 g/mol, and the molar mass of sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate is 248.18 g/mol. So, the mass of Na2S2O3 in 1 mole of sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate is 158.11 g/mol.
Therefore, the wt% of Na2S2O3 in sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate is:
wt% Na2S2O3 = (158.11 g/mol / 248.18 g/mol) x 100% = 63.72%
So, the wt% of Na2S2O3 in sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate is 63.72%.
