What is the purpose of back titration in the context of acid-base titration?

To reach the endpoint directly without backtracking.

To titrate excess acid with a standard base solution.

To avoid slow reactions in titrating insoluble acids.

To titrate excess base with a standard acid solution. (correct)

Why is back titration considered an alternative technique to direct titration?

To account for slow reaction rates in certain titrations. (correct)

To speed up the determination of equivalence points.

To achieve more accurate results in acid-base reactions.

To simplify the titration process in complex reactions.

In back titration, why is excess base added before titrating with a standard acid?

To ensure the reaction goes to completion before reaching equivalence point. (correct)

To neutralize any remaining acid in the solution.

To eliminate the need for endpoint indicators.

To speed up the reaction between the analyte and the titrant.
