Karl Fischer titration

Karl Fischer titration is a laboratory method used to measure the amount of water in a sample. It involves adding a specialized chemical (reagent) to the sample, which reacts specifically with water. As the reagent is added, the reaction continues until all water is gone, indicated by a change in the solution’s color or electrical properties. By knowing how much reagent was used, scientists can accurately calculate the water content in the sample. This technique is precise and commonly used in industries like pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals to ensure product quality and compliance.
