Detailed Solution

The reaction involves :
H2O2+2I+2H+I2+2H2O(l)2Na2S2O3+I2Na2S4O6+2NaI
The reaction gives blue colour only after all the Na2S2O3 is used. The reaction is carried out with adjusted amount of Na2S2O3 so that only a fraction of H2O2 and KI reaction occurs before the blue colour of starch-l2 appears, however the slow redox reaction of H2O z-lzcontinues. The appearance of blue colour is like clock alarm and in  such reactions time for.the appearance of blue colour is noticed. The phenomenon is used in studying rate of reaction. If time taken fbr blue.colour appearance is longer, the reaction is slow and vice - versa.
