Acidimetry

/əsɪ'dɪmətri/ noun

Definition

The measurement or analysis of the concentration or strength of an acid, typically done through titration in a laboratory.

Etymology

From Latin 'acidus' (sour) + Greek 'metron' (measure). A chemistry term combining acid terminology with the '-metry' (measurement) suffix, standardized in the 19th century.

Kelly Says

Acidimetry is how chemists figure out 'how sour' something is by measuring it with extreme precision—they use titration, adding known amounts of base until the acid is completely neutralized, like finding the exact balance point.
