A titration is a technique to determine the concentration of an unknown solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration.
Key Terms
Analyte: The solution being analyzed (in flask)
Titrant: The solution of known concentration (in burette)
Equivalence Point: When moles of acid = moles of base
Endpoint: When indicator changes color
Titration Equation
M₁V₁/n₁ = M₂V₂/n₂
Where M = molarity, V = volume, n = stoichiometric coefficient
pH at Equivalence Point
Strong + Strong: pH = 7.0
Weak Acid + Strong Base: pH > 7 (basic)
Strong Acid + Weak Base: pH < 7 (acidic)
Weak + Weak: Depends on Ka and Kb
