Meaning
A measured amount of a solution of unknown concentration is added to a known volume of a second solution until the reaction between them is just complete; the concentration of the unknown solution (the titer) can then be calculated.
Classification
Nouns denoting acts or actions.
Examples
- The student performed a titration of the sodium hydroxide solution with a strong acid to determine its concentration.
- In the lab, the team conducted a titration of the vinegar sample to calculate the percentage of acetic acid present.
- Titration is a precise analytical technique used to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution.
- The pH indicator was added to the reaction mixture during the titration to signal the endpoint of the reaction.
- By carefully controlling the rate of addition of the titrant, the chemist was able to perform a precise titration and accurately determine the concentration of the unknown solution.
