Ammonium thiocyanate is added in the titration of sodium thiosulphate with copper to detect the end point of the reaction. When all the thiosulfate ions react with copper ions, excess copper ions will react with ammonium thiocyanate forming a reddish-brown complex. This color change indicates that all the thiosulfate has reacted and the titration is complete.
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.
Ammonium thiocyanate is used as an indicator in the iodometry of copper because it forms a red complex with copper ions. By adding ammonium thiocyanate to the copper solution, the color change from white to red indicates the end point of the titration, allowing for the determination of copper concentration.
NH4CNS (ammonium thiocyanate) is used as an indicator in the estimation of copper by the iodometric method. It forms a red-colored complex with the copper ions, allowing for visual detection of the end-point during the titration process. The indicator changes color when all the copper ions have reacted with the iodine, indicating the endpoint of the titration.
The chemical formula for the compound formed by the reaction of copper(II) ions with thiocyanate ions is CuSCN.
Copper in brass can be oxidized to Cu2+ by iodine in a redox reaction. The iodine acts as the titrant in the reaction and the copper is being titrated. It is considered an iodometric titration due to the involvement of iodine in the titration process.

copper (thiocyanate)2 and potassium nitrate
NH4CNS (ammonium thiocyanate) is used as an indicator in the estimation of copper by the iodometric method.

The indicator changes color when all the copper ions have reacted with the iodine, indicating the endpoint of the titration.
Cu2CuN2S2
Cu2I2 is precipitates in light pink colour due to adsorption of I2 and the precipitate releases I2 very slowly. Therefore very small amount of potassium thiocyanate is added towards the end point which helps to displace the adsorbed I2 quickly by combining with Cu2I2 to form CuSCN which has less tendency to adsorb I2.

It is simply because they could not be found together!! copper can be estimated by treating with potassium iodide and iodine will be liberated in the reaction which is titrated against sodium thiosulphate during the reaction we will add sulphuric acid to prevent the hydrolysis of copper sulphate and we follow by, adding ammonia to neutralize sulphuric as it may hinder the reation between iodide and copper!! now again we will add acetic acid to neutralize ammonia.. and the indicator is added at the last because it will get absorbed with the iodine!! now atlast we add ammonium, thiocyanate to prevent the excess of iodine getting added to copper iodide. end point is disappearance of blue color.
Condutometric titration of copper sulfate with sodium hydroxide is a method used to determine the concentration of copper ions in a solution. By adding sodium hydroxide to a solution of copper sulfate, a white precipitate of copper hydroxide is formed. The end point of the titration is reached when all the copper ions have reacted with the sodium hydroxide, leading to a sudden increase in the solution's conductivity, which can be detected using a conductivity meter.
Copper(II) thiocyanate is a chemical compound with the formula Cu(SCN)2. It is a coordination complex where copper is the central metal ion coordinated to thiocyanate ligands. The number "2H2O" indicates that the compound contains two water molecules as part of its crystal structure.
