acidimetry

Thân thiện

A scientist performs an acidimetry titration in the laboratory.

Definition

1. Noun:
   • Volumetric analysis using standard solutions of acids to measure the amount of a base present: Acidimetry is a quantitative chemical analysis technique. It involves using a solution of an acid with a precisely known concentration (a standard solution) to determine the concentration of a base in a sample. This is typically done through a titration process.

Usage Examples

• Noun:
  • The laboratory technician performed acidimetry to determine the alkalinity of the water sample.
  • Acidimetry is a fundamental technique taught in introductory analytical chemistry courses.

Advanced Usage

• "to perform acidimetry": to carry out the analytical procedure.
  • The researcher needed to perform acidimetry on several unknown solutions.
• "by acidimetry": using the acidimetry method.
  • The concentration of sodium hydroxide was determined by acidimetry.

Variants and Related Words

• Acidimetric (adj): relating to or involving acidimetry.
  • The acidimetric titration required careful measurement.
• Titration (n): the general process of determining the concentration of a substance in solution by reacting it with a standard solution. Acidimetry is a specific type of titration.
• Alkalimetry (n): the complementary technique, which uses a standard solution of a base to measure the amount of an acid present.

Synonyms

• Acid-base titration: a more general term for titration involving an acid and a base, which includes acidimetry.
• Volumetric analysis: the broader category of analytical techniques to which acidimetry belongs.

Related Phrases

• Standard acid solution: the reagent of known concentration used in acidimetry.
• Endpoint detection: identifying the point in a titration, such as in acidimetry, where the reaction is complete, often using an indicator.
