What can be measured by titration?

  • The concentration of an unknown substance e.g. 0.900 mol L−1.
  • Percentage purity, e.g. 56%.
  • Water of crystallization, e.g. (NH4)2SO4.nH2O.
  • Percentage of a metal in a salt, e.g. 12% Fe in a salt.
  • Water hardness, e.g. determination of the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions.
