titrimetry

Titrimetry, also known as titration, is a laboratory technique used to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution. It involves adding a solution of known concentration (called the titrant) to a sample until a specific reaction occurs, often indicated by a color change. By measuring how much titrant is needed to reach this point, scientists can calculate the exact amount of the substance present in the sample. This method is commonly used for analyzing acids, bases, and other chemical compounds with high accuracy.
