Addition of a reactant A (known as the titrant) in measured increments to a solution containing a second
reactant B (the titrand) with provision for some means of recognizing (indicating) the end-point at which
essentially all of B has reacted. The stoichiometry of the reaction and the amount of one reactant (A or
B) is known, allowing calculation of the amount of the other reactant.

Note 1: The titrant can be added by volume (volumetry) or by mass.

Note 2: If the titrant reacts directly with the analyte, the process is known as a direct titration. In a back
titration a known, excess amount of reactant is added followed by titration of the remaining reactant.

Note 3: If the volume of the solution containing the analyte is known, the concentration of the analyte
solution may be calculated.

Note 4: The term ‘titre’ meaning a measure of the concentration of the solution of known
concentration, or the titration volume is considered obsolete, and its further use deprecated.
