Back titrations are also useful if the reaction between the analyte and the titrant is very slow, or when the analyte is in a non- soluble solid. Source: Internet

Equivalence point is the theoretical completion of the reaction: the volume of added titrant at which the number of moles of titrant is equal to the number of moles of analyte, or some multiple thereof (as in polyprotic acids). Source: Internet

Depending on the endpoint desired, single drops or less than a single drop of the titrant can make the difference between a permanent and temporary change in the indicator. Source: Internet

First, the measurement does not depend on path length, because the same path length is used for the measurement of both the excess titrant and the product. Source: Internet

Small volumes of the titrant are then added to the analyte and indicator until the indicator changes color in reaction to the titrant saturation threshold, reflecting arrival at the endpoint of the titration. Source: Internet

Subsequently, the rate of change of pH due to precipitation or dissolution is monitored and strong acid and base titrant are added to adjust the pH to discover the equilibrium conditions when the two rates are equal. Source: Internet
