external indicator is required in diazotization as to observe the end point of the reaction. internal indicators cannot give the endpoint because they may form complexes which may cause hindrance. for example, in the assay of sulfa drugs, iodine-starch paste is used as external indicator, because if we add iodine paste in the conical flask it will react with the reactants and give the blue-black coloration in the beginning of the actions, which will not tell the end point of the reaction. instead, the iodine-starch paste is applied in a paper, and the compound from the burette is added in small quantities into the sulfa drug solution, and after every few milliliters a drop of solution from the conical flask is dropped on the iodine-starch paste, when there is sudden change in colour, the addition from the burette is stopped. and observations are made.

Describe a method to visually detect the end point of a titration without the use of instruments?

The method used most often in chemistry labs is by use of a pH indicator in the sample being titrated. When you reach the titration point, the indicator will change colors, demonstrating the end point of the titration.

What kind of indicators are used in precipitation titration?

An example of an indicator would be Phenol Red, or Universal Indicator. Depending on the pH range of the indicator and the pH range of the substrates you would use the appropriate indicator.


Can you use indicator other than phenolphthalein in the titration of NaOH?

Yes you can use methyl red, methyl orange, bromophenol blue and other indicators instead of phenolphthalein in the acid-base titration of NaOH.

When to use back-titration instead of direct titration?

When you have passed the tipping point and the color indicator turns from it's color to the clear color of the original solution. Then you back titrate to color again.

Why no use indicator in the standardizing potassium permanganate titration?

Usually there is no indicator needed in potassium permanganate titrations as there will be an excess of manganate ions in the conical flask, turning the solution from colourless to pale pink.


What colorimetric pH indicator should you use for ammonia and hydrochloric acid titration?

Since the titration is between a strong acid and a weak base, methylorange should be suitable as the equivalence point is around pH 5. The K of the indicator should be equal to the pH at the end point. Methyl orange is that indicator
