Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary purpose of a titration in analytical chemistry?
Correct Answer: To determine the concentration of a solute.
  • Step 1: Understand that titration is a laboratory method used in chemistry.
  • Step 2: Know that the main goal of titration is to find out how much of a substance (solute) is in a solution.
  • Step 3: Recognize that this is done by adding a solution with a known concentration (reagent) to the solution being tested.
  • Step 4: Observe that the reaction between the solute and the reagent helps to determine the amount of solute present.
  • Step 5: Conclude that by measuring how much reagent is needed to react completely with the solute, we can calculate the concentration of the solute.
