An aqueous solution containing 0.10 g KIO₃ (formula weight = 214.0) was treated with an excess of KI solution. The solution was acidified with HCl. The liberated I₂ consumed 45.0 mL of thiosulphate solution to decolourise the blue strach-iodine complex. Calculate the molarity of the sodium thiosulphate solution.
