Types of Titration
Titration is classified on two bases namely, the Types of Reactions Involved and the Number of Components in the Titrate.
Based On the Reactions Involved there are the following types
- Acid-Base Titration
- Redox Titration
- Precipitation Titration
- Complexometric Titration
Based on the Number of Components in the Titrate there are the following types
- Single Titration
- Double Titration
Let’s first study the types of titration on the basis of the types of reactions involved:
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.
