Argentometric Titration by Precipitation of Silver Salts

Argentometric titrations are based on the use of silver cation as a precipitating agent. The objective here is to do a simple titration by precipitation and to use the titration curve to determine the solubility constant of AgI. The reaction considered is
+
Ag
+
-
I

AgI
(s)
. In this Demonstration, you can change the initial concentration of
+
Ag
, the volume of
-
I
added, and the solubility product
K
AgI
to see the changes in the titration curve.
