The answer is: True
7.[2p] Why does a permanganate titration need no indicator?
Why does a permanganate titration need no indicator?
The answer is: Permanganate is deep purple and its product is nearly colourless, so the first excess drop colours the flask
The answer is: Permanganate is deep purple and its product is nearly colourless, so the first excess drop colours the flask
