Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the purpose of a standard solution in titration?
  • Step 1: Understand that titration is a method used to find the concentration of a substance in a solution.
  • Step 2: Know that a standard solution is a solution with a precisely known concentration of a substance.
  • Step 3: In titration, the standard solution is added to the solution being tested (analyte) until a reaction is complete.
  • Step 4: By knowing the concentration of the standard solution and measuring how much is used, you can calculate the concentration of the analyte.
  • Step 5: This helps ensure that the results of the titration are accurate and reliable.
