Content

Titration of an acid with a base

Titration is a process in which a measured volume of a reaction is added to a reaction mixture until some observable property has changed.

Titration is a procedure in which a solution called the titrant whose concentration is known very accurately is dispensed by a burette and reacted with a known volume of another solution unknown concentration called the analyte. By measuring the amount of titrant needed to neutralize the analyte, you can determine the concentration of the analyte very accurately. The endpoint …
