Indicator is added to zinc because firstly it combines with zinc and forms zinc-indicator complex and after addition of more EDTA to the complex , the zinc which was in the form of complex gave free indicator and forms Zn-EDTA complex and the free indicator gaves blue colour which indicates end point of titration.

Why potassium thiocyanate is added in the titration of sodium thiosulphate with copper?

On addition of the KI to your copper (II) solution, you formed Copper (I) iodine solid and produced the tri-iodide ion. It is the tri-iodide ion that you are titrating with the sodium thiosulfate. The tri-iodine ion is what itercalates into the starch molecules to form the dark blue color you are using as an end point in the titration. Some the the tri-iodide ion formed will adsorb to the surface of the solid copper (I) iodine formed. This must be desorbed for a complete titration. The addition of the potassium thiocyanate, displaces the adsorbed tri-iodine ion, and liberates it for titration.

What is added to change a solid to a liquid?

Heat is added to a solid to make a liquid... this is called melting. some additional liquid (water,ethanol,acid…) also change solid into a liquid.

What is The process of adding a known amount of solution of known concentration to determine the concentration of another solution is called?

titration is the best method to determine the unknown concentration of the unknown. if ur known is a solid then you would have to used distilled water to ensure it is submerged before you titrate.
