| − | '''Titration''' is method in chemistry for determining concentrations of reactive substances which exist in unknown quantities of a source solution. The process involves slowly adding a known reactant to another solution (for example, a [[base]] with an [[acid]] of known concentration) until just enough of the reagent has been added to precisely react with all of the original solution. <ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Chemistry''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1998</ref> This process is used to calculate the concentration of a reactive substance in the original solution. For example, it can be used to determine the [[acid dissociation constant]] (K<sub>a</sub>) or base dissociation constant (K<sub>b</sub>) of an acid or base, respectively. | + | '''Titration''' is method in chemistry for determining concentrations of reactive substances which exist in unknown quantities of a source solution.
