4. Back titration

The back titration is performed in two steps:
- reaction of the excess reagent with the sample : z sample + w Excess
- reaction of the titrant with the excess of reagent : x Excess + y titrant

According to the definition of stoichiometric coefficients, z is equal to y.

The calculation is performed in equivalent. If the concentrations are not in equivalent per litre,
then the stoichiometric coefficients are used. When the titration starts, the excess reagent has
a number of equivalent equal to : Ve * Ce * c' , with:

The reaction of the excess reagent with the titrant gives : Vtit * Ctit * c'', with:

Then, the sample concentration is calculated as follows:
