An indicator shows when we have added just enough of the second reagent to react with the first. If you mean why do we add only a small amount of indicator, it is to keep the answer accurate. Some of the reagent is used changing the indicator so the answer is always slightly bigger than perfection, and the more indicator you add, the larger the error.

What is the point in a titration at which the added solute reacts completely with the solute present in the solution?
It is the equivalence point.
Does the amount of potassium iodide added to the potassium iodate solution affect the amounts of iodine liberated in iodometric titration?
Not usually. Potassium iodide is usually present in a large excess. It is usually the potassium iodate that is the limiting ingredient.
What chemical indicators are and what they are used for?
chemical indicators are completely an organic solutions that changes color in the solution we added them to it due to the change in PH.....they are used to determine the equevelant point and the end point in titration
Does universal indicator turn milky when acid is added to a carbonate?
No
Why is it that during titration of iodine or triiodine with thiosulphate the starch indicator should not be added until near the end point?
The Starch-Iodide complex is not very soluble in water, so the starch is added near the endpoint of an Iodine titration, when the Iodine concentration is low. This eliminates errors due to the fact that some Iodine may remain adsorbed on the complex and go undetected. so if you add the starch indicator only right near the end point when the solution is a light yellow colour the starch shouldn't complex and go lumpy.
Is the indicator generally added to the titrant or analyte in a titration?
Analyte is the indicator that is generally added in titration.
Is the indicator generally added to the titrant or the analyte in titration?
Analyte is the indicator that is generally added in titration.
Is the indicator generally added to the titrant or the analyte in a titration?
Analyte is the indicator that is generally added in titration.
What is an indicator blank?
During an experiment for chemistry, if an indicator will not work due to the lack of a reactant, the reactant can be added. You must then compensate for the added amount by creating a solution of the indicator and the the same amount of the reactant. The volume required in the blank titration must then be subtracted from the other results to obtain quality results. This is an indicator blank and how it is used.
Why is it that 2 or 3 drops of the indicator is added during titration of acid and base?
To see where the equivalent point is
What is the difference between equivalent point and end point in analytical chemistry?
The equivalence point is the point in a titration when the amount of added standard reagent is chemically equal to the amount of analyte. The end point is the point in a titration when a physical change occurring immediate after the equivalence point
Why are indicators in complexometric titration added in a solid form?
Indicator is added to zinc because firstly it combines with zinc and forms zinc-indicator complex and after addition of more EDTA to the complex , the zinc which was in the form of complex gave free indicator and forms Zn-EDTA complex and the free indicator gaves blue colour which indicates end point of titration.
What is Over titration?
Over titration occurs when an excess of one solution, known as a titrant, is added to another solution. Titration is done to know the amount of solution to be added to reach neutralization.
What is iodometric titration?
In this titration iodine is liberated ....Added:... from (excess of) iodide by an oxidant. The Iodine is then titrated with thio (di-sodium thio-sulfate) and starch as indicator added just before the expected equivalence point.
What is an indicator in an acid base titration?
Indicator is a chemical compound that is added in small amounts to a solution so that the pH (acidity or basicity) of the solution can be determined visually.
What difference between titration and back titration?
In fact, a back titration is carried out as in a very similar method to an ordinary titration. the only difference is in the context. Consider an unknown acid solution. Then a known amount of excess alkali was added to the solution and made them react. Then the process of finding the amount left from the alkali is known as the back titration.
What is the purpose of adding dextrin in titration?
In a precipitate titration, dextrin is added to prevent the precipitate from coagulating during titration. It also makes the color change more visible, since some analytes may be difficult to see a color change during the titration. I hope this helps! This is straight out of my Analytical Lab manual.
