Chapter 1. Performing a Titration

1.1 Performing a Titration

Short Description

Titration is an essential Chemistry Technique. This video shows how to properly perform a titration.

Long Description

This is where a more detailed tutorial of the video topic can be displayed. It may also contain a transcript of the narration. It is completely customizable.

When working with solutions in chemistry, often times we need to know the concentration of the ions in solution.

For acid-base solutions we can use an acid-base titration to determine this. A titration is an experimental way to determine the concentration of an ion in solution. In an acid-base titration we utilize the mole ratio of protons to hydroxide ions in the neutralization reaction.

When doing a titration you will use a solution of known concentration, or a standard, to find the concentration of an unknown solution.
