DEFINITIONS OF: volumetric analysis

1

n quantitative analysis by the use of definite volumes of standard solutions or reagents

Types:
acidimetry
volumetric analysis using standard solutions of acids to measure the amount of a base present
alkalimetry
volumetric analysis using standard solutions of alkali to measure the amount of acid present
titration
a measured amount of a solution of unknown concentration is added to a known volume of a second solution until the reaction between them is just complete; the concentration of the unknown solution (the titer) can then be calculated
