Depends on the method used. In general, it helps to dissolve all the sample.

But in case of using manganometry in the determination, then the acid is needed to ensure low pH, because the reaction

Fe2+ + MnO4- = Fe3+ + Mn2+

proceeds only in high pH. If the pH was neutral or basic, solid MnO2 would be created, which is not favorable (we need to know prpreciselyow many mno4- oxidates one fe2+).

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.

Why high concentrated of sulfuric acid not used in titration?

Titrations require a high degree of precision. Using a high concentration of any acid or base makes it easy to overshoot or undershoot the target amount. Using low concentrations allows you more fine control over the amount of reactants you are adding.

What is the trial titration?

A trial titration is carried out before the actual titrations and is not recorded. It is carried out by adding increments of several milliliters from the reactant in burette. It helps to give a rough estimation to the end point.
