Titration
Titration
An Acid-Base titration is a lab technique used find the unknown concentration of a specific volume for an acid or a base by neutralizing it with a specific volume of an acid or base of a known concentration.
During a titration you deliver known volumes of a base to a known volume of an acid until it is neutralized or just slightly basic.
This is also known as the endpoint of a titration.
End pointEnd point: point at which the solution : point at which the solution changes from acidic to “just” basic.
