titer [ttr](chemistry) The concentration in a solution of a dissolved substance as shown by titration.

The least amount or volume needed to give a desired result in titration. The solidification point of hydrolyzed fatty acids. How do I find the titer of a solution? on: November 07, 2010, 03:13:55 PM They are asking for it in terms of mg Asc/mL I2 It is based off of this word problem: A solution of I2 was standardized with ascorbic acid (Asc). Using a 0.1000-g sample of pure ascorbic acid, 23.53mL of I2were required to reach the starch end point. I already calculated the M of the iodine solution (.0241 M). Please walk me through the next step. Logged

Just look at the data. You need 100 mg of ascorbic acid to reduce 23.53 mL of iodine. How many milligrams per 1 mL? Logged Titer A titer (BE: titre) is the unit in which the analytical detection of many substances is expressed. It is the result of a titration. Generally, the test is performed on an undiluted sample, and then repeated when the sample is mixed with 100% water or saline in repeated steps. If the test isstill positive, then high titers of the detected substance are said to be present. Many tests are positive when performed on an undiluted sample, but rapidly become negative after repeated dilution. These tests may only be of real significance if the titer is high, while lacking this significance when performed on the raw sample. Titers are expressed in their highest positive dilution, e.g. 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8 etc. where the second number is always 2x. Sometimes, the sample is diluted from the outset, leading to different base numbers but a similar exponential increment (e.g. 1:20, 1:40, 1:80, 1:160, 1:320). See also Serology
