5.2. EQUATIONS USED IN TITRATIONS
The main variables used in calculating a result from a titration are the sample volume, the concentration of the titrant,
and the volume of titrant required to reach the equivalence point. At the equivalence point, an equal number of
equivalents of the analyte and titrant has been added.
