Titration is a cornerstone of analytical chemistry, used to determine the concentration of unknown substances in a wide range of applications, from quality control in manufacturing to environmental monitoring. Among the techniques used for determining concentration, volumetric and conductivity titration offer two distinct approaches to identifying an equivalence point during a reaction. One uses observable changes like color transitions, while the other measures variations in electrical conductivity to signal when a reaction is complete. The choice between volumetric and conductivity titration is not just a matter of preference. It depends on the sample, the precision required, and the environment in which the analysis takes place. Knowing how volumetric ...

For over a decade we have developed proprietary technologies to purify and recycle lithium-based chemicals and laboratory waste products.

Production of lithium-based x-ray fluxes requires the use of high purity chemicals, to ensure finished products are of the highest quality possible. Any significant impurities present in the raw chemicals can affect the final flux products and have a dramatic impact on the quality of results for an XRF laboratory. (more…)

Understanding how a pH titration curve is constructed is essential for chemists and laboratory professionals working in analytical chemistry, pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and educational settings. A titration curve reveals how the pH of a solution changes as a titrant is added, providing critical insight into acid-base behavior, equivalence points, and buffer capacity.

What is a pH Titration Curve?

A pH titration curve is a graphical representation of the pH of a solution as a function of the volume of titrant added. It is commonly used in acid-base titrations to determine the concentration of an unknown solution or to study the prope...
