What is the purpose of an indicator in volumetric titrimetric analysis?

To signal when the end point of the reaction has occurred (correct)

To measure the concentration of the analyte

To determine the volume of the standard reagent

To deliver the known standard reagent from a burette

What is the equivalence point in a titration?

The point when the amount of added standard reagent is exactly equivalent to the amount of analyte (correct)

The point when a physical change occurs associated with chemical equivalence

The point when the reaction between the analyte and reagent is judged to be complete

The point when the volume of added standard reagent is measured

What is a standard solution in titrimetric analysis?

A solution with a known volume

A solution used to measure the concentration of an analyte

A solution used to signal the end point of the reaction

A reagent of exactly known concentration used in a titrimetric analysis (correct)
