The iodometry titration of K2Cr2O7,Chromium is being reduced by Na2S2O3 FROM Cr^6+ in K2CrO7,to Cr^3+,according to the following reaction;
Cr2O7^-2+6e^-→2Cr^3+
since in this redox titration reduction of chromium involves a 6 electron change,therefore the equivalent weight of K2Cr2O7=Molecular  weight/6
 
Hence equivalent weight of Na2S2O3 = 294.18/6
 
= 49.03 gm
