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. [1] 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 (Ka) or base dissociation constant (Kb) of an acid or base, respectively.
