Taper vs. Titrate — What's the Difference?

A small or very slender candle.

Ascertain the amount of a constituent in (a solution) by measuring the volume of a known concentration of reagent required to complete a reaction with it, typically using an indicator

A long wax-coated wick used to light candles or gas lamps.

To determine the concentration of (a solution) by titration or perform the operation of titration.

A source of feeble light.

(analytical chemistry) To ascertain the amount of a constituent in a solution (or other mixture) by measuring the volume of a known concentration (the "standard solution") needed to complete a reaction.

A gradual decrease in thickness or width of an elongated object.

To adjust the amount of a drug consumed until the desired effects are achieved.

A gradual decrease, as in action or force.

(figuratively) To precisely control.

(Sports) A period before a competition or race in which the intensity and frequency of exercise and training is decreased.

To analyse, or determine the strength of, by means of standard solutions. Cf. Standardized solution, under Solution.

To become gradually narrower or thinner toward one end.

Measure by (the volume or concentration of solutions) by titration

To diminish or lessen gradually. Often used with off

(Sports) To decrease one's exercise levels before a competition or race

To make thinner or narrower at one end.

To make smaller gradually.

Gradually decreasing in size toward a point.

A slender wax candle.

(by extension) A small light.

A tapering form; gradual diminution of thickness and/or cross section in an elongated object.

A thin stick used for lighting candles, either a wax-coated wick or a slow-burning wooden rod.

A cone-shaped item for stretching the hole for an ear gauge piercing.

(weaving) One who operates a tape machine.

Someone who works with tape or tapes.

(transitive) To make thinner or narrower at one end.

(intransitive) To become thinner or narrower at one end.

(intransitive) To diminish gradually.

(intransitive) (of a central bank) To tighten monetary policy.

Tapered; narrowing to a point.

A small wax candle; a small lighted wax candle; hence, a small light.

A tapering form; gradual diminution of thickness in an elongated object; as, the taper of a spire.

Regularly narrowed toward the point; becoming small toward one end; conical; pyramidical; as, taper fingers.

To become gradually smaller toward one end; as, a sugar loaf tapers toward one end.

To make or cause to taper.

A convex shape that narrows toward a point

The property possessed by a shape that narrows toward a point (as a wedge or cone)

A loosely woven cord (in a candle or oil lamp) that draws fuel by capillary action up into the flame

Stick of wax with a wick in the middle
