The second syllable, "-trate," is pronounced with a long "a" sound and a soft "t" sound. The word "titrate" is often used in chemistry to describe the process of determining the concentration of a substance in a solution by adding a measured amount of another substance.

TITRATE Meaning and Definition

  1. Titrate is a verb that refers to the process of determining the concentration of a substance in a solution by slowly adding measured amounts of another substance until a specific reaction or endpoint is reached. This method is commonly used in chemistry and laboratory settings to analyze the concentration or properties of various compounds or substances.

    In titration, a solution of known concentration, called the titrant, is added gradually to the solution containing the substance of interest, referred to as the analyte. This is typically done by using a burette, a graduated glass tube with a tap at one end to control the flow of the titrant. The addition of the titrant is continued until a chemical reaction occurs, indicated by a change in color, pH level, or another observable property of the solution. At this point, the endpoint of the titration has been reached.

    Titration is often employed in acid-base reactions, where the analyte is an acid or a base, and the titrant is a solution with known concentration of the opposite property. The volume of the titrant required to reach the endpoint is measured accurately and can be used to calculate the concentration of the analyte.

    Overall, titration is a precise experimental technique that allows scientists to quantitatively determine the concentration of a substance in a solution by carefully controlling the addition of another known substance.

  2. To analyze volumetrically by means of a test solution of standard strength.

Common Misspellings for TITRATE

Etymology of TITRATE

The word "titrate" originated from the French word "titrer", which means "to determine the strength of" or "to proportion". This French term is derived from the Latin word "titulus", meaning "title" or "label". In the context of chemistry, titration involves adding measured amounts of one solution into another solution until the desired chemical reaction or endpoint is reached. The term was first used in its chemical sense in the early 19th century.
