1
Q
What is a titration?
A
Volumetric analysis using the volume and concentration of one reactant to determine the concentration of another solution
2
Q
How do we show when the equivalence point has been reached?
A
- Reaction is complete
- And an INDICIATOR is used
3
Q
What are the steps (wishy washy) of a titration?
