A titration is a quantitative analytical technique used to determine the concentration of a solution (the analyte) by reacting it with a solution of known concentration (the titrant or standard solution). In acid-base titrations, the reaction is a neutralisation:
acid + base → salt + water
The titrant is added from a burette until the equivalence point (also called the stoichiometric point) is reached — the point at which the acid and base have reacted in their exact stoichiometric ratio.
A typical titration follows these steps:
