Acid-base Titration

What is Acid-base Titration?

A method in which one solution is added in a controlled way from a burette to a measured portion of another solution in a conical flask, until an indicator shows that the reaction between them is just complete. A volumetric pipette measures the fixed portion, the burette measures the variable volume added, and the indicator marks the end-point. The volume delivered is the final burette reading minus the initial reading.

This definition is part of the Experimental Techniques and Chemical Analysis chapter in Cambridge O Level Chemistry.
