volumetric analysis
Volumetric analysis is a laboratory technique used to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution. This is done by measuring the volume of a reagent solution needed to react completely with the target substance. Typically, this involves a precise titration process, where a solution of known concentration (the titrant) is gradually added to the solution being analyzed until a reaction endpoint is reached, often indicated by a color change. By calculating the amount used, scientists can determine the concentration of the unknown solution. It’s an essential method in chemistry for both research and quality control.
