Titration is a commonly used laboratory technique of quantitative analysis used for determining the concentration of the desired substance in a solution. In a acid-base titration, the titrant (solution with known concentration) is added to the analyte (solution with unknown concentration) whose concentration is yet to be determined.
Titration Process
Performing acid-base titration involves using a pipette for measuring titrant and a burette for dispensing the measured volume of titrant. The pH needs to be measured at the same time while the titrant is being added to the sample. The burette has a tap and is attached to a stand to facilitate slow and steady addition of titrant to the analyte until the pH of the mixture changes to meet the required endpoint pH value indicating the end of the chemical reaction. This stage is also known as the endpoint or equivalent point. Here the concentration of the analyte can be determined by measuring the amount of titrant used.
The volume and concentration of titrant added from the burette to the sample vessel is then calculated using a balanced equation.
Titration Types
Depending on the nature of chemical reactions involved titrations can be divided into the following types:
- Acid-base titration.
- Redox Titration.
- Precipitation Titration.
- Complexometric Titration.
