Titration Calculator

How to Use the Titration Calculator

This guide will walk you through the steps to use the Titration Calculator effectively. Follow these instructions to input your data and retrieve the necessary results for your titration experiment.

Step 1: Gather Required Information

Before using the calculator, make sure you have the following information available:

• Initial Volume (mL): The starting volume of the analyte solution, measured in milliliters.
• Initial Concentration (M): The concentration of the analyte before titration, expressed in molarity.
• Titrant Concentration (M): The concentration of the titrant solution, also in molarity.
• Volume at Equivalence Point (mL): The volume of titrant added at the equivalence point, in milliliters.
• Reaction Stoichiometry (Analyte:Titrant): The stoichiometric ratio between the analyte and the titrant in the titration reaction.

Step 2: Enter the Input Values

Fill in the input fields with the collected information:

• Initial Volume: Enter the initial volume of the analyte solution. The input should be a number with a minimum value of 0 and can be adjusted in steps of 0.1 mL.
• Initial Concentration: Input the initial concentration of the analyte. This should be a number, starting at 0, with increments of 0.0001 M.
• Titrant Concentration: Provide the concentration of your titrant. The format is similar to the analyte concentration, with a step of 0.0001 M.
• Volume at Equivalence Point: Record the volume of titrant used at the equivalence point, entered as a number with a minimum step of 0.1 mL.
• Reaction Stoichiometry: Select the stoichiometric ratio from the provided options (1:1, 2:1, or 1:2).

Step 3: View the Results

After entering all the input data, the calculator will automatically compute and display the following results:

• Moles of Analyte: Calculates using the formula (Initial Volume * Initial Concentration) / 1000, formatted to 5 decimal places.
• Moles of Titrant: Determines using (Equivalence Point * Titrant Concentration) / 1000, also presented to 5 decimal places.
• Actual Analyte Concentration (M): Computes using (Equivalence Point * Titrant Concentration * Reaction Stoichiometry) / Initial Volume, and displays to 4 decimal places.
• Percent Error (%): Evaluates the accuracy with the formula abs((Analyte Concentration – Initial Concentration) / Initial Concentration * 100), shown to 2 decimal places with a percentage sign.
• Dilution Factor: Calculated with (Initial Volume + Equivalence Point) / Initial Volume, accurate to 3 decimal places.

By following these steps, you can effectively use the Titration Calculator to analyze and evaluate your titration experiments accurately.
