Titration Calculator
Calculate the concentration of an acid (or base) from a titration — titrant volume and molarity, sample volume and the mole ratio of the neutralization.
The unknown concentration from your burette reading.
How the titration calculator works
At the end point the moles of titrant equal the moles of analyte times the stoichiometric ratio. Moles of titrant = molarity × volume; divide by the ratio and by the sample volume to get the analyte concentration. For HCl with NaOH the ratio is 1:1; for H₂SO₄ with NaOH two moles of base neutralize one of acid, so the ratio is 2.
Formula: C_analyte = (C_titrant × V_titrant) ÷ ratio ÷ V_analyte
Worked examples
| Inputs | Analyte concentration | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 23.4 mL of 0.1 M NaOH neutralises 25 mL of HCl | 0.0936 mol/L | 0.0936 M HCl |
| 18.7 mL of 0.1 M NaOH vs 25 mL of H₂SO₄ | 0.0374 mol/L | 0.0374 M H₂SO₄ |
| 12.5 mL of 0.05 M HCl vs 10 mL of NaOH | 0.0625 mol/L | 0.0625 M NaOH |
FAQFrequently asked questions
What is the mole ratio?
From the balanced equation: H₂SO₄ + 2 NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2 H₂O needs two moles of NaOH per mole of acid, so the ratio is 2 when NaOH is the titrant.
Should I average my titres?
Yes — use the mean of concordant titres (within 0.1 mL), ignoring the rough first one.
Does the indicator matter for the calculation?
Not for the arithmetic, but the right indicator makes the end point match the equivalence point: phenolphthalein for strong acid–strong base, methyl orange when the base is weak.
How do I get the concentration in g/L?
Multiply the molarity by the analyte's molar mass; the HCl row does that with 36.46 g/mol.
