LESSON 8: TITRATION

• Titration


  A common laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution.
• Titrant


  The solution with accurately known concentration.
• Analyte/Titrand


  The solution with the unknown concentration.
• The titrant is added gradually to a known quantity of the analyte until the reaction between the two solutions is complete.
• Equivalence point


  A theoretical point where the amounts of the titrant and analyte are equivalent.
• Indicator


  A substance whose solution changes color due to changes in pH; used to signal the end of a titration.
• Endpoint


  A practical point at which the reaction is observed to be complete; observes with the help of indicator.
