Titration
What is Titration?
Titration is a quantitative analytical technique in which a solution of known concentration (titrant, in a burette) is gradually added to a solution of unknown concentration (analyte) until the reaction is complete (equivalence point), detected by an indicator or pH meter. The concentration of the analyte is calculated from the volume of titrant used and the stoichiometry of the reaction. Common types include acid–base, redox, complexometric, and precipitation titrations.
