Titrations

= TITRATIONS!!!!! = by Gabe Patil and kind of Kieran Ohliger -Methods of anaylsis that allow you to determine the precise endpoint of a reaction and therefore the precise quantity of reactant in the titration flask. -A **titration** is a volumetric technique in which a [|solution] of one [|reactant] (the titrant) is added to a solution of a second reactant (the "analyte") until the [|equivalence point] is reached. -Equivalence point: the point at which the titrant has been added in exactly the right quantity to react stoichiometrically with the analyte.

-Often color is added to one of the solutions with the same endpoint as the equivalence point, thus turning clear when its solution is stoichiometrically balanced.

-Example of a titration: http://chemistry.about.com/od/workedchemistryproblems/a/titrationexampl.htm A 25 ml solution of 0.5 M NaOH is titrated until neutralized into a 50 ml sample of HCl. What was the concentration of the HCl?
