Enter the initial volume (mL) and the titration percent (%) into the Titration Volume Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Titration Volume. 

Titration Volume Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Titration Volume. 

Vt = Vi / (TP/100)
  • Where Vt is the Titration Volume (mL)
  • Vi is the initial volume (mL) 
  • TP is the titration percent (%) 

How to Calculate Titration Volume?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Titration Volume.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the initial volume (mL).
    1. The initial volume (mL) is given as: 30.
  2. Next, determine the titration percent (%).
    1. The titration percent (%) is provided as: 50.
  3. Finally, calculate the Titration Volume using the equation above: 

Vt = Vi / (TP/100)

The values given above are inserted into the equation below:

Vt = 30 / (50/100) = 45 (mL)

FAQ

What is titration in chemistry?

Titration is a laboratory method used in chemistry to determine the concentration of a known reactant in a solution. It involves the gradual addition of a solution of known concentration (titrant) to a known volume of a solution of unknown concentration until the reaction reaches its endpoint, indicated by a color change or an electrical measurement.

Why is the titration percent important in calculating titration volume?

The titration percent is crucial because it represents the percentage of the titrant solution that reacts with the substance being titrated at the endpoint of the titration process. This percentage is used to calculate the final volume of the solution after titration, allowing for the determination of the unknown concentration.

Can the titration volume formula be used for all types of titrations?

While the titration volume formula provided (Vt = Vi / (TP/100)) is useful for calculating the volume changes in a solution during a titration process, its applicability may vary depending on the specific type of titration and the reaction involved. It’s primarily useful for straightforward titrations where the relationship between the initial volume, titration percent, and titration volume is direct. For more complex titrations, additional factors such as stoichiometry and specific reaction conditions may need to be considered.
