A. Titration 
✓ Two solutions: 
1. Solution with known volume and concentration (called a standard solution) 
2. Solution with known volume 
✓ One solution is dripped into the other, and a reaction happens 
✓ An indicator changes color when the reaction stops. At this point, the solutions are prevented from 
mixing any more. 
✓ How much of solution 1 was needed for the reaction is determined 
✓ Using this information, the concentration of solution 2 can be determined 
 
Visualizing a Titration:​ Determine the concentration of HCl (aq) in the flask. 
Solution 1:     What volume NaOH is used? 
(titrant)    
1 mol/L    
NaOH (aq)  How many moles NaOH? 
  
Solution 2:    
(analyte)  How much HCl does this correspond to? 
1 L HCl (aq)    
Concentration    
unknown   
What is the concentration of HCl? 

 
  
Visualizing a Titration:​ Determine the concentration of H​2​SO​4​ (aq) in the flask. 
Solution 1:      What volume NaOH is used? 
(titrant)    
2 mol/L    
NaOH (aq)  How many moles NaOH? 
  
Solution 2:    
(analyte)  How much H​2​SO​4​ does this correspond to? 
1 L H​2​SO​4​ (aq)    
Concentration    
unknown    
What is the concentration of H​2​SO​4​?

A. Titration Calculations 
Ex.1// It takes 38 mL of 0.75 M NaOH solution to completely neutralize 155 mL of a sulfuric acid 
solution (H​2​SO​4​). What is the concentration of the H​2​SO​4​ solution?  
What volume titrant is used? 

How many moles of titrant are used? 

How much analyte does this correspond to? 

What is the concentration of analyte? 

 
Ex.2// A Ba(OH)​2​ solution has a molarity of 0.0850 M and is used to titrate 37.5 mL of 0.0550 M H​2​S. 
What is the volume of barium hydroxide solution required for complete neutralization of the H​2​S? 
(This question is different because we need to find a volume, not a concentration)
