Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the purpose of a titration in analytical chemistry?
  • Step 1: Understand that titration is a laboratory method used in chemistry.
  • Step 2: Know that the goal of titration is to find out how much of a substance is in a solution.
  • Step 3: Recognize that you will use a solution with a known concentration (this is called the titrant).
  • Step 4: Mix the titrant with the solution you want to test (this is called the analyte).
  • Step 5: Observe the reaction between the two solutions until it reaches a specific point (this is called the endpoint).
  • Step 6: Use the amount of titrant used to calculate the concentration of the analyte.
