Answer:
KMnO4 acts as a self – indicator. KMnO4 solutions are dark purple in colour. It is due to +7 oxidation state of Manganese (Mn). ... KMnO4 is usually titrated against solutions like Ferrous Ammonium Sulphate ((NH4)2Fe(SO4)2(H2O)6) and Oxalic acid (C2H2O4) which are acidic in nature.

KMnO4 solutions are dark purple. When used as a titrant, as soon as the endpoint is reached and the KMnO4- is in excess, the solution has a permanent pink hue (provided that the solution is initially colorless). Thus KMnO4 acts as its own indicator.
