An illustration shows a titration apparatus. The illustration shows a burette in a conical flask held with a clamp and stand. Bottles of acids and alkali, an indicator, and a pipette are placed around this set up.
A student uses the apparatus to determine the concentration of a solution of hydrofluoric acid. Which component will the student put in the burette?

In a titration setup, the component that is placed in the burette is called the "titrant." The titrant is the solution of known concentration that is used to determine the concentration of the solution being analyzed, which in this case would be the hydrofluoric acid (the analyte).
So, the correct response is: titrant.
