The uses of Volumetric Solution

The uses of Volumetric Solution A technique in quantitative chemical analysis wherein the quantity of a material is determined by measuring the volume that the component occupies is known as volumetric solutions. It's frequently used to figure out the concentration of unknown reactant. Tiration is a scientific procedure in which one substance of known concentration and volume reacts with another substance of unknown concentration. Volumetric standard solution is sometimes referred to as titration. Introduction Jean Baptiste Andre Dumas, a French chemist, was the first to introduce volumetric analysis. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, he used it to determine the percentage of nitrogen mixed with other elements in organic molecules. Dumas burned a known-weight sample of a substance in a furnace under conditions that insured that all nitrogen was converted to elemental nitrogen gas, or N2.

Titration According to the University of Waterloo, titration is a quick chemical reaction that includes acquiring quantitative information from a given sample. The process is known as an acid-base titration when the reaction involves an acid and a base. The procedure is called a redox titration when the reaction comprises oxidation and reduction.

Uses In high school and college chemistry labs, volumetric analysis is utilised to determine the amounts of unknown compounds. A response occurs when the titrant (known solution) is added to an unknown quantity of analyte (unknown solution).
