Re: titration problems
Below I will give some steps to solving problems like this:
Start by writing the balanced chemical equation for the reaction occurring in the titration. This is crucial for stoichiometry.
Determine the Known and Unknown Quantities:
Identify what is given (the known) and what is asked for (the unknown).
Typically, you will know the volume and concentration of one solution and want to find the concentration of the other.
Use the Balanced Equation to Set Up a Mole Ratio:
Use the coefficients in the balanced equation to set up a mole ratio between the known and unknown substances.
Apply the Mole-Mole Relationship:
Use the mole ratio to convert moles of the known substance to moles of the unknown substance (or vice versa).
Convert to the Desired Unit:
Convert moles to the desired unit (usually concentration or volume).
Check Units and Cancel.
Key Formulas:
Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution
Mole Ratio:
Use the coefficients from the balanced chemical equation to set up the mole ratio between reactants and products.
Stoichiometry:
Use the mole-mole relationship derived from the balanced equation to relate the moles of known and unknown substances.

Re: titration problems
To answer your question on how you would go about solving a titration problem and if there are certain formulas you should keep in mind, these are the steps I believe you'd use:
1. Write a balanced equation for the reaction occurring in the titration to understand the stoichiometry behind it.
2. Identify and determine the mole ratio between the reactants in the balanced equation.
3. Convert known information to moles.
For example: moles = concentration x volume
4. Use the mole ratio to find moles of the unknown substance amount.
5. Convert moles of unknown to desired units.
I hope this helps!
