Titration Definition
Titration is a procedure that involves using a known concentration solution to determine the concentration of an unknown solution.
Titration, commonly known as titrimetry, is a chemical qualitative analytical technique for determining the concentration of an analyte in a mixture. Titration is an important technique in analytical chemistry, and it is also known as Volumetric Analysis.
Titration Formula
The formula for Titration is expressed as:
% Acid = (N × V × Equi. Weight) × 100 / (W × 1000)
where,
- N is Normality of Titrant
- V is Volume of Titrant
- W is Mass of the Sample
- Equi. Weight is Equivalent weight of acid
Titration
Titration is the gradual addition of a known concentration solution (called a titrant) to a known volume of an unknown concentration solution until the reaction approaches equilibrium, which is sometimes shown by a color change. The titrant solution must satisfy the appropriate criteria to be used as a primary or secondary standard. Titration is a technique for determining the concentration of an unknown solution in a general way.
