Reaction X Exc.
+ Y Titr Enter stoichiometric coefficients for the reaction between the excess
reagent and the titrant when the following units have been selected:
• Excess titrant unit (M, mM),
or
• Titrant unit (M, mM)
To determine the X and Y stoichiometric coefficients:
The reaction is: X Exc + Y Titr ->
where:
• 1 mole of titrant gives X eq of titrant
• 1 mole of excess reagent gives Y eq of excess reagent
To balance the reaction, Y mole(s) of titrant are required to titrate X
mole(s) of excess reagent.
Example:
Titrant
sodium hydroxide (NaOH). 1 mole of NaOH gives 1 eq of NaOH.
Excess reagent
citric acid (C

When you enter the coefficients of X Exc + Y Titr ->, please also
check the coefficients of the X Smp + Y Exc -> equation (line
above in the Results screen).
X of Smp is always equal to Y of Titr: it may be necessary to
change the Y coefficient of the X Smp + Y Exc -> equation.
