The process in which an acid-base neutralization reaction is used to determine the concentration of a solution is called a titration.

Here are the steps involved in a titration:

1. A solution of known concentration (the titrant) is prepared. This could be either an acid or a base, depending on the nature of the solution to be tested.

2. The solution to be tested (the analyte) is measured out into a flask.

3. A few drops of a suitable indicator may be added to the analyte. This will change color at the equivalence point, i.e., when the amount of titrant added is just enough to completely neutralize the analyte.

4. The titrant is slowly added to the analyte while stirring, until the indicator changes color. The point at which this happens is called the end point of the titration.

5. The volume of titrant required to reach the end point is noted. This can be used, along with the known concentration of the titrant and the volume of the analyte, to calculate the concentration of the analyte.

This process is commonly used in laboratories to determine the concentration of unknown solutions.
