> See also: > - Reference # Titrations A **titration** is an analytical procedure in which a reaction is run under carefully controlled conditions. The stoichiometric volume of one reactant of known concentration, the **titrant**, that is required to react with another reactant of an unknown concentration, the **analyte**, is measured. - **Titrant**: Known Volume & Concentration - **Analyte**: Known Volume & Unknown Concentration The concentration of the analyte can is determined from the concentration of the titrant and the stoichiometry of the reaction between them. ### Setting Up a Titration The set up of a titration experiment is shown below: ![[Pasted image 20220526100802.png]] 1. A buret, which contains the titrant, is calibrated so the volume of solution that it delivers can be determined with high accuracy and precision. 2. The titrant is added to the analyte until the stoichiometric volume of titrant has been added. - This is known as the **equivalence point** 3. After the equivalence point is reached, the volume of the titrant delivered by the buret is read. These volume readings are typically estimated to the nearest 0.01 mL (one hundredth). 4. The delivery of the titrant is adjusted with the stopcock on the buret. 5.
