Titration is the process of mixing acids and bases to analyse one of the solutions. For example, if you were given an unknown acidic solution and a 1 molar NaOH solution, titration could be used to determine what the concentration of the other solution was.
The goal of titration is to determine the equivalence point. The equivalence point is the point in which all the H+ and the OH- ions have been used to produce water. Titration also usually involves an indicator. An indicator is a liquid that turns a specific color at a specific pH. (Different indicators change colors at different pH's) Indicators are chosen to allow a color change at the equivalence point.
