As seen in the chapter on the stoichiometry of chemical reactions, titrations can be used to quantitatively analyze solutions for their acid or base concentrations. In this section, we will explore the underlying chemical equilibria that make acid-basetitrimetry a useful analytical technique.
Acid-Basetitrations are usually used to find the amount of a known acidic or basic substance through acid base reactions. The analyte (titrand) is the solution with an unknown molarity. The reagent (titrant) is the solution with a known molarity that will react with the analyte.
An acid-base titration is a fundamental process in analytical chemistry to determine the concentration of unknown acids or bases. It is based on the neutralization reaction, where an acid and a base react to form water and a salt.
An acid–basetitration is a method of quantitative analysis for determining the concentration of Brønsted-Lowry acid or base (titrate) by neutralizing it using a solution of known concentration (titrant). [1]
It is widely used in laboratories, industries, and educational institutions to analyze chemical substances. This article will explore the theory behind acid-basetitration, the step-by-step procedure, and the essential calculations involved in the process.

Titration is an analytical procedure that is often used in a Chemistry lab to determine the moles of acid (or base) in a sample of unknown concentration. The procedure is based on acid-base neutralization stoichiometry. Let’s suppose we have an acid solution whose concentration we wish to determine.
An acid-base titration is a quantitative analysis technique used to determine the concentration of acids or bases in a solution. In this process, a known concentration of an acid or base (titrant) is added to an unknown concentration of the opposite reactant (analyte).
Titrations allow us to quantify acid-base and redox reactions by carefully measuring the amount of one reactant needed to react completely with another. In this section, we will focus on acid-basetitrations, which involve the controlled addition of an acid or base to a solution while monitoring pH changes.
The following example exercise demonstrates the computation of pH for a titration solution after additions of several specified titrant volumes. The first example involves a strong acidtitration that requires only stoichiometric calculations to derive the solution pH.
