3. Neutralization Titrations Neutralization titrations are widely used to determine concentration of analytes that are themselves acids or bases. Normally use water as solvent system; some cases require non-aqueous solvents due to solubility or other constraints.

4. Reagents for Neutralization Titrations Standard Acid Solutions are most easily prepared from stock concentrated solutions of strong acids (e.g., hydrochloric, perchloric, or sulfuric acids). They are stable indefinitely. Once prepared the acid solution must be standardized against a primary standard base like sodium carbonate, TRIS, sodium tetraborate decahydrate.

7. Reagents for Neutralization Titrations Standard Base Solutions are most easily prepared from stock concentrated solutions of strong bases (e.g., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or barium hydroxide). Once prepared the base solution must be standardized against a primary standard acid like potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP), benzoic acid, potassium hydrogen iodate.
