Answer
Volumetric analysis, also known as titration, is a quantitative chemical analysis technique used to determine the unknown concentration of a solution.
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsA solution of known concentration (the titrant) is gradually added to a solution of unknown concentration (the analyte) using a burette.
The addition continues until the reaction between the analyte and titrant is just complete, which is usually indicated by a color change using an indicator or by an instrumental method.
This point is called the equivalence point or end point.
The volume of titrant used is measured, and using the known concentration of the titrant and the stoichiometry of the reaction, the concentration of the analyte can be calculated.
