volumetric analysis

Noun
  1. Determination of the volume of gases (or changes in their volume) during combination (synset 100649785)
    is a type of: quantitative analysis, quantitative chemical analysis - chemical analysis to determine the amounts of each element in the substance
  2. Quantitative analysis by the use of definite volumes of standard solutions or reagents (synset 100648956)
    is a type of: quantitative analysis, quantitative chemical analysis - chemical analysis to determine the amounts of each element in the substance
    subtypes:
    • acidimetry - volumetric analysis using standard solutions of acids to measure the amount of a base present
    • alkalimetry - volumetric analysis using standard solutions of alkali to measure the amount of acid present
    • titration - a measured amount of a solution of unknown concentration is added to a known volume of a second solution until the reaction between them is just complete; the concentration of the unknown solution (the titer) can then be calculated
