titrant
This term is a specialized technical noun used exclusively within the field of analytical chemistry. It describes the active reagent that is dispensed from a burette, serving as the standard against which an unknown substance is measured. The word carries a clinical, precise connotation, evoking the image of a controlled laboratory environment where exact volumes are critical.
Because it refers to a specific chemical solution, it functions as a standard countable noun. It is typically paired with adjectives describing its concentration, such as strong, dilute, or standardized, to specify the exact nature of the reagent being used in the titration process.
Meanings
Examples
Slowly add the titrant from the burette until the solution changes color.
The concentration of the titrant must be precisely known for an accurate result.
I think I added too much titrant and overshot the endpoint.
A standard solution of sodium hydroxide is commonly used as the titrant in acid base titrations.
Make sure the titrant is free of air bubbles before starting the experiment.
The volume of titrant required to reach the equivalence point was recorded in the log.
Which titrant should we use for this specific analyte?
The analyst carefully dispensed the titrant into the conical flask.
