What is titration and types of various titration ?

Question

Accepted Answer

Titration is a technique used to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution by reacting it with a known solution.

Titration involves the gradual addition of a solution of known concentration (titrant) to a solution of unknown concentration (analyte) until the reaction between the two is complete.
The endpoint of a titration is determined by using an indicator or by monitoring a physical change in the solution.
Types of titration include acid-base titration, redox titration, complexometric titration, and precipitation titration.
In acid-base titration, an acid reacts with a base to determine the concentration of the base or vice versa.
Redox titration involves the transfer of electrons between the reactants.
Complexometric titration is used to determine the concentration of metal ions by forming a complex with a ligand.
Precipitation titration involves the formation of a precipitate to determine the concentration of an analyte.
