Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Weight percentages of ${\text{VOSO}}_{\text{4}}$, ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}$, and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ in commercial vanadyl sulfate have to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Titration is an analytical method of quantitative chemical analysis which determines the concentration of the analyte. A reagent called titrant is prepared as a standard solution. This titrant reacts with titrand (analyte) solution to determine the concentration of the analyte. The volume of titrant required for titration is termed as the titration volume.

A cation exchange resin has bound negative groups that attract positive cations from solution.
