Redox Titrations

Definition

Redox titrations are a type of titration based on a redox reaction between the analyte and titrant. They involve the transfer of electrons between the two reacting species.

Oxidation:

This is a process where an atom, ion, or molecule loses electrons during a chemical reaction.

Reduction: This is the opposite of oxidation; it's when an atom, ion, or molecule gains electrons in a chemical reaction.

Endpoint:

This is the point in a titration where enough titrant has been added to react completely with the analyte.
