What is Volumetric Analysis?
A quantitative analytical technique based on measuring the volume of a solution needed to react completely with a known amount of substance. Titration is the primary volumetric technique. It requires calibrated glassware (burettes, pipettes, volumetric flasks) for accurate measurements.
