The Crucial Role of Analytical Standards in Health, Disease, and Commerce
Background
The analysis of chemicals in samples and its importance in society can not be understated, and the instrumental analysis techniques used across all fields of science rely on the use of accurate and pure materials called analytical standards-substances and chemicals used to define unknown compounds in a mixture and to accurately determine their concentrations.
Analytical standards are used for determining wheth

The Science of Titration Analysis
Titration is the process by which an unknown quantity of a compound is found by adding it to a reagent which it reacts completely with in a known amount. This reagent, the titrant, is measured exactly and when an added indicator changes color, the titrant amount and its concentration determine the unknown compound concentration. It’s the change in the indicator that signals the reaction between the compound and titrant is complete and when its complete its also called the endpoint.
In its
