What is Titration: Definition and 278 Discussions

Titration (also known as titrimetry and volumetric analysis) is a common laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis to determine the concentration of an identified analyte (a substance to be analyzed). A reagent, termed the titrant or titrator, is prepared as a standard solution of known concentration and volume. The titrant reacts with a solution of analyte (which may also be termed the titrand) to determine the analyte's concentration. The volume of titrant that reacted with the analyte is termed the titration volume.

    Chemistry What is the Molecular Mass of an Unknown Acid Based on Titration Data?

    this is from a lab. i titrated NaOH into 2 grams of an unknown acid with NaOH the equivalence point was at 38.25ml so using 2 grams of an unknown acid and 38.25ml NaOH i have to find molecular mass of the acid. i tried adding 2 to 38.25, but i don't think that is right.
