Basis of differentiation | Dilution | Titration |
Definition | Dilution is the process of decreasing the concentration of a sample | Titration is an analytical technique where a solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution |
Variation of values | The concentration can be easily changed | The concentration cannot be changed by titration |
Determination of concentration | Dilution cannot be used to determine the composition of a sample | Can be used to determine the percent composition of compounds |
Process difficulty | Is an easier process which only the addition of more solvent is necessary | Is more difficult because a laboratory apparatus is required for titration |
