The equivalence point is determined by a detectable change, for instance, of colour in an indicator substance (e.g., litmus )or in an electrical property. Reactions used in titration include acid-base reactions, precipitations (see solution), formation of complexes, and oxidation-reduction reactions. See also pH.

等价点的确定可以通过指示剂颜色的变化(如石蕊),或者从电性能的变化来判断。滴定法使用的反应有酸碱理论反应、沉淀、生成错合物以及氧化-还原。
