Doseringstitrering

Doseringstitrering, also known as titration, is a quantitative chemical analysis technique used to determine the unknown concentration of a substance (the analyte) by reacting it with a solution of known concentration (the titrant). The titrant is added gradually from a burette to the analyte until the reaction is complete, which is typically indicated by a color change or other physical property change at the equivalence point. The volume of titrant used to reach the equivalence point, combined with the known concentration of the titrant, allows for the calculation of the analyte's concentration using stoichiometry.

There are various types of titrations, including acid-base titrations, redox titrations, precipitation titrations, and complexometric titrations, each relying on different types of chemical reactions. Indicators are often used to visually signal the completion of the reaction. For example, in an acid-base titration, an acid-base indicator changes color at or near the pH of the equivalence point. Precision in measurements, especially the volume of titrant added, is crucial for accurate results. Doseringstitrering is a fundamental technique in analytical chemistry and finds applications in fields such as pharmaceutical analysis, environmental monitoring, and food science.
