titrate
Synonyms: titration
Definition: A chemistry lab technique used to find the concentration of a substance by slowly putting in a known amount of another substance which can neutralise the effects of the unknown substance. A color indicator (which reacts with neither) is also included, the color of the solution changes when all of the unknown substance has been neutralised. The unknown is then inferred by looking at the total amount of known substance it took to neutralise all of it. (OMD)
