Titratsioone

Titratsioone is a term used in analytical chemistry to describe the systematic evaluation of a solution's concentration through the addition of a reagent of known concentration. The process involves the careful titration of an analyte, often a base or acid, with a titrant to reach a specific equivalence point where a measurable change, such as a color shift or a change in electrical conductivity, indicates that the reactants have reacted in a stoichiometric ratio. In practical applications, titratsioone serves as a foundational technique for determining the purity of substances, monitoring industrial processes, and conducting research in chemistry laboratories. The accuracy of titratsioone depends on the precise preparation of solutions, the use of calibrated equipment, and the careful interpretation of indicators or sensors that signal the endpoint.

Common methods include acid–base titrations, redox titrations, complexometric titrations, and back‑titrations, each of which is chosen based on the chemical nature of the analyte and the desired information. While the concept of titratsioone originates from classical analytical methods, it now integrates advanced technologies such as potentiometric sensors, spectrophotometric detection, and automated titrators that improve repeatability and reduce human error. In educational settings, teaching titratsioone cultivates a deeper understanding of stoichiometry, solution chemistry, and the importance of quantitative measurement in both academic and industrial contexts.
