Image

Volumetric analysis is also called as titrimetric analysis.

Titrate: Substance to be analyzed or to be determined.

Titrant: Reagent of know concentration

Titration: The process of determining the volume

Equivalence point: The point at which complete chemical reaction takes place and equivalent quantity of reagent is used

End Point: The point at which the indicator changes its color

Indicator: Auxiliary agents used to determine the end point of titration

Concentration: A defined quantity of substance in a defined volume of solution

Difference between a burette and a pipette :

Burette : Measures accurately the volume of a solution added. Readings can be taken to an accuracy of half a division, that is ± 0.05 cm3.

Pipette : Delivers an accurate volume of a solution. Often this is 25 cm3.
