In chemistry, titration is an analytical technique that estimates the analyte concentration in a solution by adding a titrant of known concentration that reacts with the sample analyte in a stoichiometric manner, allowing the concentration of the analyte to be calculated. Acid-base, complexometric, redox, and precipitation titration are the types of titrations.
An acid-base titration is a method of quantitative analysis used to find out the concentration of an acid/base by neutralizing it with a known-concentration standard solution of base/acid. A pH indicator is used to monitor the progress of the acid and base reaction.
What type of reaction occurs during an acid-base titration?
Acid-base titrations use a neutralization reaction in which one species neutralizes another, resulting in water and an ionic salt. In a neutralization reaction, an acid and a base react in an aqueous solution to form salt and water.
An acid-base titration is all about the practical application of acid and base using an indicator (phenolphthalein, methyl orange, methyl red, etc.) to identify the endpoint, the volume of acid used, and average titre, etc. The acid-base reaction is represented by the formula equation of acid reacting with a base to produce salt and water (Neutralization reaction).
