Direct titration of `I_(2)` with a reducing agent is called iodimetry. If `I_(2)` is leberated by the oxidation of `I_(ɵ)` ion by a strong oxidising agent in neutral or acidic medium, the liberated `I_(2)` is then titrated with reducing agent. Iodometry is used to estimate the strngth of the oxidising agent. For example, in the estimation of `Cu^(2+)` with `S_(2)O_(3)^(2-)`  `Cu^(2+)+I^(ɵ)toCuI_(2)+I_(2)` (iodometry)  `I_(2)+S_(2)O_(3)^(2-)toS_(4)O_(6)^(2-)+I^(ɵ)` (iodimetry)  Strach is used as an indicator at the end point, which forms bluecoloured complex with `I_(3)^(ɵ)` Disappearance of blue colourindicates the end point whe free `I_(2)` in not present.  Q. In the reaction  `2CuSO_(4)+4KItoCu_(2)I_(2)+2K_(2)SO_(4)+I_(2)`  The equivalent weight of `CuSO_(4)` is  `(Mw=159.5g mol^(-1))`
