'Titrant' is the compound in the titration buret, mostly its concentration is exactly known.

'Titrand' is the substance which is being analysed in the titration.

Added:

A typical titration begins with a beaker or Erlenmeyer flask containing a precise volume of the titrand (or analyte) and a small amount of indicator placed underneath a calibrated burette or chemistry pipetting syringe containing the (or reactant).

When the endpoint of the reaction is reached, the volume of titrant (or reactant) consumed is measured and used to calculate the concentration of analyte, using:

Ca = Cr . Vr . M / Va

where M is the mole ratio of the analyte and reactant from the balanced chemical equation.

What is titrand?

There are answers elsewhere on the web. In summary, a titrand is the solution (or other substance) which one has in a conical flask or beaker into which the titrant is titrated from a burette.


Why is it necessary to dilute the titrand in conductometric titrations?

titration


What is the difference between conductometric and volumetric titrations?

Coductometric titration: is based on the suddenly change of the conductivity at the equivalence point.Volumetric titration: the volume of a standardized titrant is measured at the eqivalence point.


Do you use titrant in conical flask?

yes we use titrant in the conical flask ,this is because titrant is a solution we use in burrete for titration in this process we titrant the solution in the conical flask along with an indicator


How do you know what to titrate a solution against?

A chemical reaction must exist between the titrant an the ion to be analyzed.


Why the volume of a titrant needs to be greater than 25ml but less than 50ml?

If the volume of the titrant is between that range, it takes out the mainstream of error. It is allowed to be more accurate when determining mols and molarity of the compounds within the titrations


What is meant by titrant in titration?

The titrant is the solution involved or used in a titration to determine the concentration of an unknown solution.


What is redox titration?

Redox Titration refers to some titration based on the redox reaction between the titrant and analyte.


What is used to identify acids and bases?

an acid is a material or substance that is sour and can change blue litmus paper red a base is a material or substance that is bitter (it sometimes ) and can change red litmus paper blue. Litmus paper can tell an acid from a base Lemon Juice is an acid coffee is a base.


What is titrant and analyte?

Analyte: the substance to be analyzed by titration. Titrant: the substance (with a known concentration) added to the analyte solution to perform a titration.


When should back titration be used instead of direct titration?

when we do not know nothing about the other titrant.


How does back titration differ from a direct titration?

direct titration involves the direct and stepwise addition of a standard titrant to the analyte whilst the back titration involves reacting a standard excess titrant wth an analyte solution of an unknown concentration, then reacting the excess (left over) titrant with an analyte of known concentration to determine the concentration of excess titrant.
