StellarTitrations
When an acid and a base react with one another, they get neutralized. When this is done using a buret in a lab, it is known as a titration. A titration is a laboratory process used to determine the concentration of an unknown acid or base. Since an acid and base will react to neutralize one another, a base/acid of known concentration is added drop by drop to the unknown solution until it is neutralized. At this point, known as the equivalence point, the moles of acid = moles of base, and so the concentration of the acid can be calculated by taking the moles over volume.
