Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary purpose of titration in analytical chemistry?
  • Step 1: Understand that titration is a laboratory technique used in chemistry.
  • Step 2: Know that the main goal of titration is to find out how much of a substance (the analyte) is in a solution.
  • Step 3: Recognize that this is done by adding a solution with a known concentration (the titrant) to the solution being tested.
  • Step 4: Monitor the reaction between the analyte and the titrant until it reaches a specific point, called the endpoint.
  • Step 5: Use the volume of titrant added to calculate the concentration of the analyte in the original solution.
