CoachA titration determines the amount of a species, the analyte, by a reaction with a reagent of known concentration, the titrant, added progressively. The reaction must be single, quantitative ( large) and fast. The equivalence is reached when titrant and analyte have been brought together in the stoichiometric proportions of the reaction; the volume added then is the equivalence volume, and the point of the titration curve at that volume is the equivalence point. The volume at which the experimenter stops, seeing a colour change or a break in a curve, is the end point; a good method makes it coincide with the equivalence.
