Everything about Argentometry

Titration involving the silver ion

In analytical chemistry, argentometry is a type of titration involving the silver(I) ion. Typically, it is used to determine the amount of chloride present in a sample. The sample solution is titrated against a solution of silver nitrate of known concentration. Chloride ions react with silver(I) ions to give the insoluble silver chloride:Ag+(aq) + Cl−(aq) → AgCl(s) (K = 5.88 × 10−9 mol-2 dm6) Wikipedia →
