A few drops of any indicator is generally enough to get a reading.


Why is it that during titration of iodine or triiodine with thiosulphate the starch indicator should not be added until near the end point?

The Starch-Iodide complex is not very soluble in water, so the starch is added near the endpoint of an Iodine titration, when the Iodine concentration is low. This eliminates errors due to the fact that some Iodine may remain adsorbed on the complex and go undetected. so if you add the starch indicator only right near the end point when the solution is a light yellow colour the starch shouldn't complex and go lumpy.


If a few drops of universal indicator is added to water changes red what pH value is it?

Its Ph value is less than 7, so it is acidic. The exact colour change needs to be compared visually with a standard universal indicator chart to determine the precise Ph value associated with that particular shade of red.

What is universal indicator?

It is a substance used to determine the strengths of acids and alkali.It changes color according to the pH of the material its in. It is so useful because the color also tells you how strong the substance is. As an example, if you were to put a few drops of the indicator in water it would go green. A few drops of it in cleaning products and it would go a deep purple.A universal indicator can give various colors to a huge variety of pH ranges.


What can affect purity of aspirin?

Firstly place 100 to 150 mg of aspirin into a 125 ml conical flask. Next proceed to mix in 15 ml of 95% ethanol solution and add 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator. Then use the titration method to mix this solution against a standard solution of sodium hydroxide from a burette. Using the value obtained from the titration calculate the molarity of the aspirin. Then calculate the ratio of the observed molarity of aspirin with its theoretical molarity and finally multiply this ratio with 100 to obtain the percentage purity of the aspirin sample.
