It is not mandatory; acids are also titrated.
In an oxidation-reduction reaction occurring in a basic solution, both mass and charge must be balanced. To achieve this, hydroxide ions (OH⁻) are often added to the half-reactions to neutralize any hydrogen ions (H⁺) produced during the reaction. Additionally, the total number of electrons lost in the oxidation half-reaction must equal the total number of electrons gained in the reduction half-reaction to ensure charge balance. Finally, any oxygen atoms should be balanced by adding water molecules as needed.
In an oxidation-reduction reaction in basic solution, hydroxide ions (OH⁻) are added to balance the hydrogen atoms. After balancing the half-reactions for mass and charge, any excess hydrogen ions (H⁺) are neutralized by adding an equal amount of hydroxide ions, forming water. This ensures that both hydrogen and oxygen atoms are balanced in the overall reaction.
6o2 + c6h12o6 ---> 6co2 + 6h2o
The oxidation states of calcium are +2, +1. It is considered to be a strongly basic oxide.
The oxidation state of 'Mn' in KMnO4 is +7 after reaction as oxidizing agent 'Mn; becomes +2 so change in oxidation number is '5' the formula mass divided by change in oxidation number is equal to equivalent mass or weight, 158/5 = 31.7
Hydrogen ion (acid) has extra electrons which can be donated so the reaction can take place, whereas oxygen can accept those ions to form water in the product. That's why redox reactions always start of in a acidic solution and end up in a neutral/basic solution.
Precipitation titrations are often performed in a basic medium to ensure that the precipitate formed is insoluble and does not redissolve. The basic medium helps to keep the hydroxide ions from interfering with the precipitation reaction, allowing for more accurate and reliable results.
Biamperometric titration is a method of quantitative analysis that involves the determination of analyte concentration by measuring the current produced when two working electrodes are polarized at fixed potentials. The principle is based on the measurement of the difference in current between the two electrodes, which is proportional to the concentration of the analyte being titrated. This method is useful for titrations that involve redox reactions.
Phenolphthalein is the indicator that turns pink in basic solutions during titration reactions.

An acidic titration medium is required in a Volhard method for chloride determination because it prevents the precipitation of silver chloride as a solid. Keeping the solution acidic ensures that the silver chloride formed during the titration remains in solution as AgCl^- ions, allowing for accurate measurement of the endpoint.

HCl is not used as a catalyst in the standardization of potassium permanganate because it can react with permanganate ions, affecting the accuracy of the titration. The standardization process requires a neutral or slightly basic medium to ensure the permanganate titration proceeds correctly.

The oxidation states of calcium are +2, +1. It is considered to be a strongly basic oxide.
The ratio of equivalent weight of KMnO4 in acidic to basic medium is 1:2:5. In acidic medium, KMnO4 reacts as MnO4^- + 8H+ + 5e^- → Mn^2+ + 4H2O, requiring 5 equivalents, whereas in basic medium, it reacts as MnO4^- + 2H2O + 3e^- → MnO2 + 4OH^-, requiring 2 equivalents. In neutral medium, the equivalent weight is the same as in basic medium.
The solution turns pink at the end of the titration when an indicator like phenolphthalein is used to detect the endpoint. In this case, phenolphthalein turns pink in basic solutions, indicating that the acid has been neutralized and the endpoint of the titration has been reached.
