[[File:Titration.png|right|300px|thumb|A [[diagram]] showing the setup for a [[titration]].]]
[[Titration]] is an [[Experimental Technique|experimental technique]] used to [[measure]] the exact [[Volume (Space)|volume]]s of [[acid]] and [[alkali]] needed to have a complete [[Neutralisation]] [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]].
#Wash the [[Volumetric Pipette|volumetric pipette]] and [[burette]] with [[Distilled Water|distilled water]] then wash the [[Volumetric Pipette|volumetric pipette]] with the [[alkali]] and the [[burette]] with the [[acid]] to avoid contamination from previous [[experiment]]s.
#Measure and record a fixed [[Volume (Space)|volume]] of [[alkali]] using the [[Volumetric Pipette|volumetric pipette]].
#Add the [[alkali]] to a [[beakerConical Flask|conical flask]] and then add a few drops of [[pH Indicator]].
#Fill the [[burette]] with [[acid]].
#Add the [[acid]] to the [[alkali]] one drip at a time, swirling the [[beakerConical Flask|conical flask]] constantly to mix the [[reactant]]s thoroughly.
#Repeat until the [[pH Indicator]] shows the [[solution]] is [[Neutral (Chemistry)|neutral]].
#Record the [[Volume (Space)|volume]] of [[acid]] added to the [[beakerConical Flask|conical flask]].
#Repeat the [[experiment]] at least 3 times to produce an [[Mean Average|average]].
