Question

Consider the reactions :
$2 S_{2} O_{3}^{2 -} (a q) + I_{2} (s) \to S_{4} O_{6}^{2 -} (a q) + 2 I^{-} (a q)$
$S_{2} O_{3}^{2 -} (a q) + 2 B r_{2} (l) + 5 H_{2} O (l) \to 2 S O_{4}^{2 -} (a q) + 4 B r^{-} (a q) + 10 H^{+} (a q)$
Why does the same reductant, thiosulphate react differently with iodine and bromine ?
