1. Determine the molarity of the solution you are titrating. This is usually given in the problem or can be calculated using the formula: Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters.
2. Set up your titration experiment with the solution you are titrating and the titrant solution. The titrant solution should be of known molarity.
3. Perform the titration by slowly adding the titrant solution to the solution you are titrating until the equivalence point is reached. This is the point at which all of the solute has reacted with the titrant.
4. Record the volume of titrant solution used to reach the equivalence point.
5. Use the volume of titrant solution and the molarity of the titrant to calculate the moles of titrant that reacted with the solute in the solution you are titrating.
6. Use the moles of titrant and the balanced chemical equation for the reaction to determine the moles of solute in the solution you are titrating.
7. Finally, use the moles of solute and the volume of the solution to calculate the molarity of the solution you are titrating. Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters.
By following these steps, you can use molarity and titration to calculate the concentration of a solution.
