An acid–base titration is a method of quantitative analysis for determining the concentration of Brønsted-Lowry acid or base (titrate) by neutralizing it using a solution of known concentration (titrant).[1] A pH indicator is used to monitor the progress of the acid–base reaction and a titration curve can be constructed.[1]

This differs from other modern modes of titrations, such as oxidation-reduction titrations, precipitation titrations, & complexometric titrations.[2] Although these types of titrations are also used to determine unknown amounts of substances, these substances vary from ions to metals.[2]

Acid–base titration finds extensive applications in various scientific fields, such as pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, and quality control in industries.[3] This method's precision and simplicity makes it an important tool in quantitative chemical analysis, contributing significantly to the general understanding of solution chemistry.[4]
