'Titrant' is the compound in the titration buret, mostly its concentration is exactly known. 'Titrand' is the substance which is being analysed in the titration. Added
…: A typical titration begins with a beaker or Erlenmeyer flask containing a precise volume of the titrand (or analyte ) and a small amount of indicator placed underneath a calibrated burette or chemistry pipetting syringe containing the (or reactant ). When the endpoint of the reaction is reached, the volume of titrant (or reactant ) consumed is measured and used to calculate the concentration of analyte, using: C a = C r . V r . M / V a where M is the mole ratio of the a nalyte and r eactant from the balanced chemical equation. ( Full Answer )
