An example of back titration, the Volhard method, named after Jacob Volhard, involves the addition of excess silver nitrate to the analyte; the silver chloride is filtered, and the remaining silver nitrate is titrated against ammonium thiocyanate, [1] with ferric ammonium sulfate as an indicator which forms blood-red [Fe(OH 2) 5 (SCN)] 2+ at the end point:
Back titration is a titration done in reverse; instead of titrating the original sample, a known excess of standard reagent is added to the solution, and the excess is titrated. A back titration is useful if the endpoint of the reverse titration is easier to identify than the endpoint of the normal titration, as with precipitation reactions
An example of an acidimetric titration involving a strong base is as follows: Ba(OH) 2 + 2 H + → Ba 2+ + 2 H 2 O. In this case, the strong base (Ba(OH) 2) is neutralized by the acid until all of the base has reacted. This allows the viewer to calculate the concentration of the base from the volume of the standard acid that is used.
Fig. 15. Titration plot of back-titration of excess EDTA with Cu(II) in NH 3 /NH 4 Cl buffered solution. Direct EDTA titrations with metal ions are possible when reaction kinetics are fast, for example zinc, copper, calcium and magnesium. However, with slower reaction kinetics such as those exhibited by cobalt and nickel, back-titrations are used.
If boric acid (or some other weak acid) was used, direct acid–base titration is done with a strong acid of known concentration. HCl or H 2 SO 4 can be used. Indirect back titration is used instead if strong acids were used to make the standard acid solution: strong base of known concentration (like NaOH) is used to neutralize the solution. In ...
MC methods that have been used to compute titration curves [15] are Metropolis MC [16] [17] or Wang–Landau MC. [18] Approximate methods that use a mean-field approach for computing titration curves are the Tanford–Roxby method and hybrids of this method that combine an exact statistical mechanics treatment within clusters of strongly ...

The back-titration method is similar, but involves the addition of an excess of the reagent. This excess is then consumed by adding a known amount of a standard solution with known water content. The result reflects the water content of the sample and the standard solution.
