Analytical chemistry, a branch of chemistry, deals with the analysis of

substances. Identification of the constituents from the mixture or substance is called

qualitative analysis while Quantitative Analysis deals with determining the purity of

the constituents present in the mixture. This is also known as assay method. Various

methods like volumetric analysis, gravimetric analysis, polarimetry, refractometry,

photometry, fluorimetry, electrochemical methods, chromatographic methods and

biological methods comes under the category of quantitative analysis. Volumetric

titrations are the elementary procedures applied in the life sciences, pharmaceutics,

industrial analysis, water pollution and clinical chemistry and are used to determine the

amount of analyte with the standard solution. Main advantages of these methods are

cost-effective, rapid and simple, while disadvantages include pH, temperature, and

humidity sensitivity, indicator requirement, occurrence of human error, etc.

Keywords: Analytical chemistry, Endpoint, Indicator, Quantitative analysis, Volumetric titration.
