Titrant

Titrant Definition

Imagine you're trying to find the perfect amount of sugar to add to your coffee to make it just right. This is similar to the process of titration in chemistry, where you add a solution of known concentration (titrant) to another solution to determine its concentration. Just like you carefully add sugar to your coffee until it reaches the desired sweetness, in titration, you add the titrant until a reaction indicates that the concentration of the unknown solution has been determined. Here, the titrant is like the sugar, the coffee is like the unknown solution, and the perfect sweetness signifies the point at which the concentration is accurately measured.
