Titratio

Titratio is a common laboratory method used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. This process involves the gradual addition of a solution of known concentration, called the titrant, to a solution of unknown concentration, called the analyte, until the reaction between them is complete. The point at which the reaction is complete is known as the equivalence point. To visually detect this point, an indicator is often used. Indicators are substances that change color at or near the equivalence point, signaling that the titration is complete. The volume of titrant added to reach the equivalence point is then measured. Using this volume, along with the known concentration of the titrant and the stoichiometry of the reaction, the concentration of the analyte can be calculated. Titration is a versatile technique applicable to various types of chemical reactions, including acid-base neutralizations, redox reactions, and precipitation reactions. It is a fundamental analytical tool in chemistry, used widely in quality control, research, and education. Precise control of the addition rate and accurate measurement of volumes are crucial for obtaining reliable results in titration.
