How does titration determine concentration?
Titration is a very useful laboratory technique in which one solution is used to analyse another solution. One of the solutions is a standard solution of known concentration and is delivered from a burette.
Why is titration a primary or secondary standard?
The solution called the titrant must satisfy the necessary requirements to be a primary or secondary standard. In a broad sense, titration is a technique to determine the concentration of an unknown solution.
What is a titrant solution?
The titrant solution, containing the active agent with which a titration is made, is standardized , i.e., the concentration of the active agent is determined, usually by titration with a standard solution of accurately known concentration. Standard solutions are prepared using standard substances in one of several ways.
How do you titrate an acid solution with a base solution?
Suppose you are titrating an acid solution with a base solution of known concentration. To calculate the concentration of the acid solution, use three steps. 1. Use the delivered volume of base to reach the endpoint and the known concentration of the base solution to find the moles of base used. 2.
