too specific. titration is a method, not necessarily acids and bases
'''Titration''' is the process of slowly reacting a [[base]] with an [[acid]] of known concentration (or vice-versa) until just enough acid has been added to precisely react with all of the base present. <ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Chemistry''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1998</ref> This process can be used to determine the concentration of an unknown acid or base, or 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. 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.
