Titration In The Medical Field

Decent Essays

Today, in the real world, titration is used in the medical field to find the concentration of blood and urine. It is also used to find a certain amount of a chemical in a food. A titration is a way to the concentration of an unknown solution by using a solution with a known concentration. The unknown solution is called an "analyte", while the known solution is called the "Titrant". The glassware used in order to preform titrations is a buret or "burette". A burette is a glass cylinder with a tap on one of the edges. It is used for measuring volumes of liquids, especially in titrations.
Standardization (sometimes referred to as standardisation) is a way of putting something or make something into technical standards. Standardization is used when doing a titration since it finds out the exact concentration of a solution that you want to use to find the concentration of the analyte.
An equivalence point in a titration is when the moles of the titrant equal the moles of a analyte. One way to find the Equivalence point is through the pH indicator. This is an indicator that changes color when there is a chemical change. An acid and base indicator changes color depending on what the pH is. There are also Redox …show more content…

In order to find a standard solution you must first, add water from a cleaning bottle to dissolve it. Second, you would need to use some of the water to rinse off all the substance off the watch glass. This needs to be done at least two times. Then stir with a glass rod until all the of the solid substance is dissolved, then put the solution to the volumetric flask. The laboratory method is when you drop the titrant into the analyt. (basically titration). The results you get are titration, pH level, and the moles. The equation to find molarity/concentration is: M1 x V1 = M2 V2. In conclusion, titration is very useful in the modern day. It's also pretty
