Abstract
Titrimetric analysis is most likely the oldest method of quantitative analysis. Its commonplace use has continued to date, due to its great simplicity of use and low cost. It is an absolute method to determine a quantity of matter. It is often used in official methods as well as in reference methods of analysis, but it has equal success as a routine quantitative method of analysis.

Notes
- 1.
Joseph Gay-Lussac (1778–1850) seems to have been the first chemist to give the status of exact quantitative analysis method to titrimetry after his work in 1824 devoted to the determination of active chlorine, potassium hydroxide, and silver ion. Other chemists in this field must also be mentioned. We shall be content here with recalling Karl Friedrich Mohr (1800–1879) and Carl Remigius Fresenius (1818–1897).

This methodology also applies to several other quantitative methods of analysis.
