In a titration, the solution of known concentration delivered by the burette is called the titrant, and the solution being titrated is called the analyte. To carry out a calculation to determine an unknown concentration of a sample from titration data, one would need all of the following data except ________
A)the volume of the titrant delivered.
B)the volume of the analyte.
C)the stoichiometry of the reaction between the titrant and the analyte.
D)the concentration of the analyte.
E)the concentration of the titrant.

To determine the unknown concentration of a sample from titration data, one would need to know the volume of the titrant delivered, the volume of the analyte, the stoichiometry of the reaction between the titrant and the analyte, and the concentration of the titrant. The unknown concentration of the analyte is what is being determined through the titration.
