Titration is defined as the process of determining the volumes of reagents,required for the just completion of a reaction.
Acid-base titration is one of the type of volumetric analysis.It is defined as-
‘The process of determining the strength of a solution of an acid or base by titrating against a standard solution of an alkali(base) or an acid.‘
When we determine the strength of a solution of acid by titration against a standard solution of an alkali is called acidimetry.Similarly when strength of an alkali is determined by titrating against standard solution of acid solution is called alkalimetry.
Indicators used in acid base titrations are either weak organic acids or weak organic bases.For ex- Phenolphthalein,methyl orange etc.
