Acid-Base Titrations: Introduction to Acid-Base Titrations A titration is a procedure used in analytical chemistry to determine the amount or concentration of a substance. In a titration one reagent, the titrant, is added to another slowly. As it is added a chemical stoichiometric reaction occurs until one of the reagents is exhausted, and some process or device signals that this has occurred. The purpose of a titration is generally to determine the quantity or concentration of one of the reagents, that of the other being known beforehand. In any titration there must be a rapid quantitative reaction taking place as the titrant is added, and in acid-base titrations this is a stoichiometric neutralization. The type of titration is simply the type of chemical reaction taking place, and so in this section we consider acid-base titrations. Acid-Base Titration Reactions All acid-base titration reactions, as all acid-base reactions, are simply exchanges of protons. The...
