Titration
a procedure used to determine the unknown concentration of a substance (analyte) using a know concentration of a substance (titrant)
buret
a piece of glassware used for dispensing accurate volumes
titrant
the substance of known concentration (usually liquid) added to the analyte in a titration
analyte
the substance being analyzed with unknown concentration
equivalence point
the point in a titration at which neutralization occurs. The number of moles of H plus equals the number of moles of OH negative
end point
the point in a titration at which there is a sudden change in a physical property, such as indicator color change, pH, conductivity, or absorbence
indicator
a compound having a physical property (usually color) that changes abruptly near the equivalence point of a chemical reaction at a specific pH
standard solution
a solution whose concentration is known as well as the amount used in the titration
neutralization reaction
a reaction between an acid and a base that yield salt and water
