The solution was titratable, allowing the chemist to accurately determine its concentration.

Conversation

Have you heard about the new chemistry lab equipment?

Yeah, I read that it can handle titratable solutions really well.

That's awesome! I hope we get to use it in class soon.

Me too! It would be great to experiment with titratable substances.

Root Explanation

Titratable → It is formed from "titrare" (from Latin, meaning to measure) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "titratable" refers to something that is capable of being measured, particularly in a chemical context.

Memory Tip

Think of 'measuring' ('titrare') something that can be 'done' ('-able') — that's why titratable means something that can be measured.
