Posted December 15, 2022
Answer
Basis of differentiation |
Dilution |
Titration |
|
Definition |
Dilution is the process of decreasing the concentration of a sample |
Titration is an analytical technique where a solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution |
|
Variation of values |
The concentration can be easily changed |
The concentration cannot be changed by titration |
|
Determination of concentration |
Dilution cannot be used to determine the composition of a sample |
Can be used to determine the percent composition of compounds |
|
Process difficulty |
Is an easier process which only the addition of more solvent is necessary |
Is more difficult because a laboratory apparatus is required for titration |
