2 S2O32-(aq)+I20(s)⟶S4O62-(aq)+2I-(aq)S2+2O32-(aq)+2Br2(l)+5H2O(l)⟶2 SO42-(aq)+4Br-(aq)+10H+(aq)Bromine being stronger oxidising agent than iodine, oxidises S (in +2 oxidation state) of S2O32 ion to S (in + 6 oxidation state) SO42- ion, whereas I2 oxidises S from +2 oxidation state of S2O32- to only +2.5 oxidation state of S4O62- ion.
