Internal indicators that are used in titration exist in the titration reaction as either a reactant or a product. External indicators is added to the reaction mixture, but does not exist in the reaction.
Indicators used outside the titration flask are termed as external indicators. A very commonly used external indicator is potassium ferricyanide
eriochome black T
because external indicators are weak acids or bases and alcohol itself being a weak acid will react with it if it is used in vessel with them..... hence the titration is done using external indicators....
1. Direct Titration In direct titration, you simply add an indicator to the solution of the metal ion and titrate with EDTA. Before starting the titration,it is needed to check that the pH of the solution to obtain a good formation constant value and on the other hand indicator colour change as well. 2.Indiract titration EDTA can be used as titrant for anions. Anions can be precipitated with suitable metal ion. Filter and wash the ppt with proper solution. Then boil in excess EDTA to complex metal ion(ppt). Back titrate to determine how much metal ion you had. 3.Back Titration In a back titration an excess of EDTA is added to the metal ion solution, and the excess EDTA is titrated with a known concentration of a second metal ion. The second metal ion must form a weaker complex with EDTA than the analyte ion so the second metal does not displace the analyte ion from its complex with EDTA. 4.Displacement titration Here the analyte is treated with an excess of a second metal bound to EDTA. The analyte ion displaces the second metal from the EDTA complex, and then the second metal is titrated with EDTA.

Iron (III) ions form a deep-coloured complex with a maximum absorption at about 525nm; this complex is used as the basis for the photometric titration of iron(III) ion with standard EDTA solution.
Because it dissolves prcipitate that form after addion of sodium hydroxide.
fluorescein can be used as indicator in the titration of silver and chlorided
Both indicators may be used, for example if you have no other kind in the lab. Murexide is used normally as its blue/purple end point for the tritation is more easily observed. Also less murexide is needed for titrations, this is a good thing since indicators by and large are weak acids or bases themselves, thus mimising the impact on the titration figures.
Indicators are weak acid. Too much will alter the titre
The indicator is used to measure the end point of titration. Methyl red and phenolphthalein are frequently used indicators in acid-base titration. Potassium permanganate can used as a self indicator in redox titrations where applicable.
A general acid-base titration may not indicate a color change. Therefore an indicator is used. Among the most used indicators are methyl red, methyl orange and bromothymol blue.
