Titraattoria

Titraattoria is a term used in the field of analytical chemistry to describe the process of titrating a solution, which is a method used to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution. The term is derived from the Italian word "titrare," which means "to titrate." The process involves adding a known volume of a standard solution (the titrant) to the solution being analyzed (the analyte) until a chemical reaction occurs, typically indicated by a color change or a pH change. The point at which the reaction is complete is known as the endpoint. The volume of titrant added at the endpoint is used to calculate the concentration of the analyte. Titraattoria is widely used in various fields, including environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical analysis, and food science, due to its accuracy and precision. The process can be performed manually using a burette or automatically using an automated titrator. The choice of titrant and the endpoint detection method depend on the specific analyte and the desired level of accuracy.
