Why potassium permanganate is used as a self indicator in the titration of oxalic acid?

Potassium permanganate is used as a self-indicator in the titration of oxalic acid because the initial pink color of potassium permanganate is decolorized in the presence of oxalic acid due to its reducing properties. The endpoint of the titration is reached when all the oxalic acid has reacted with the potassium permanganate, causing the pink color to persist. This change in color helps in determining the equivalence point of the titration.


Does the colour of potassium permanganate persist when it is added initially?

Not specifically the progress of the purple is caused by flow that was already happening in the water when the crystals were added. Adding the crystal itself only causes a small amount of local disturbance.

Does rubbing alcohol helps to relieve muscle cramps?

I have had issues with leg cramps for 45 years, since early teen years. I take potassium, eat bananas, grapes and do on. Still get cramps if I have worked up a lot of sweat for a few hours. Rubbing alcohol works almost instantly and no more cramps the rest of the night. I really don't care why or what the experts say, it works for me every time.
