Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understanding the Context of Titration
In a titration, a solution of known concentration (the titrant) is added to a solution of unknown concentration (the analyte) until the reaction reaches an endpoint. The goal is to determine the concentration of the unknown solution.
Step 2: Identifying the Substance of Unknown Concentration
The substance of unknown concentration in a titration is the one we aim to analyze and determine its concentration. This substance is referred to as the "analyte."
Final Answer
The substance of unknown concentration in a titration is called the \(\boxed{\text{analyte}}\).
