Acid–Base Titration: A Way to Quantify the Amount of Acid or Base in a Solution

• Solution stoichiometry can be applied to a common laboratory procedure called a titration.
• In a titration, a substance in a solution of known concentration is reacted with another substance in a solution of unknown concentration.
• In the acid–base reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, the net ionic equation is as follows:
