The end point of a titration is defined as the volume of titrant added, while the equivalence point is the volume required for c
omplete reaction with the analyte. By choosing the proper _____________, scientists can minimize the difference in these two numbers, allowing more accurate measurements in the lab. a. titrant
...BY CHOOSING A PROPER INDICATOR, SCIENTISTS CAN MINIMIZE THE DIFFERENCE IN THESE TWO NUMBERS,...
Explanation:
A chemical indicator is an agent or substance which gives a visible sign especially a color change when introduced to a solution of base indicating the threshold of the concentration of acid used in the titration procedure. These indicators include methyl orange, methyl red, phenolpthalein. They give a color change when the concentration of an acid as reached a critical limit in order for the reaction to be stopped. These indicators are involved in acid-base titrations, oxidation- reduction reactions and so on. More accurate results of the volume of the required acid or base is obtained by the introduction of these indicators.
