What is Titration?
Titration is a laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration. This process involves the slow addition of a titrant (a solution of known concentration) to an analyte (a solution of unknown concentration) until a neutralization reaction occurs, often indicated by a color change. The endpoint of titration is the point at which the reaction is complete. In titration, indicators like phenolphthalein or methyl-orange are used to detect the endpoint, which is crucial for determining the exact amount of titrant consumed.
Types of Titration
Titration is an important process in chemical analysis used to determine the quantity of a sample’s constituent by adding a known proportion of a standard solution. There are several types of titrations based on the nature of the chemical reaction between the sample and the titrant. In this article, we will see what is titration, its types, applications, and more.
