What is the purpose of using an indicator in a direct titration?

To act as a catalyst for the reaction

To measure the concentration of the titrant

To ensure the reaction goes to completion

To determine the end point of the reaction (correct)

What is the main advantage of using a primary standard in a titration?

It eliminates the need for an indicator

It allows for a back-titration to be performed

It makes the titration process faster and more efficient

It ensures the titrant concentration is known precisely (correct)

In a back-titration, what is the purpose of the initial reaction between the sample and a known excess of reagent?

To generate a product that can be titrated (correct)

To completely consume the analyte

To eliminate the need for an indicator

To produce a coloured complex
