A student uses the apparatus to determine the concentration of a solution of hydrofluoric acid. Which component will the student put in the burette?

Question

A. analyte
B. salt
C. indicator
D. titrant

Answer 1

In a titration process, the component that is typically placed in the burette is the titrant. The titrant is a solution of known concentration that is added to the analyte until the reaction reaches the equivalence point. Since hydrofluoric acid (HF) is likely the analyte in this scenario, the correct answer is:

D. titrant
