titration

/ taɪˈtreɪʃən /

noun

an operation, used in volumetric analysis, in which a measured amount of one solution is added to a known quantity of another solution until the reaction between the two is complete. If the concentration of one solution is known, that of the other can be calculated

titration

/ tī-trā′shən /

The process or operation of determining the concentration of a substance in solution. Titration is performed by adding to a known volume of the solution a standard reagent of known concentration in carefully measured amounts until a reaction of definite and known proportion is completed (as shown by a color change or by electrical measurement) and then calculating the unknown concentration.

titration

In chemistry , the determination of what materials are present in a sample by adding precise amounts of known chemicals and observing the chemical reaction .

The term titration is occasionally used informally to suggest extreme precision in some sort of measurement or determination.

During the titration, the solution rapidly became dark brown.

It has been assumed in these rules that the titration has yielded proportional results; but these are not always obtained.

If an excess, subtract it from the result of each titration; if a deficit, add it; and use the standard in the usual way.

In the titration of iron by permanganate solution there are two reactions.

Very similar to this last problem is the question suggested under the head "Indirect Titration" (p. 43).
