Titrations- HELP PLEASE!

Can somebody please help me understand how to do titration calculations? No matter how hard a try to learn the method in the revision guide it won't stick, does anyone have a way of remembering the method?
Hi, PM me and I will explain to you with examples. Difficult to explain in writing.
The best and easiest method that my teacher showed us was this:

Write out the equation of the reactants. Write down the RFM of both of the reactants. You should be given the concentration and volume of one, but only one piece of information for the other. You have to find the mass of the reactants that you have 2 pieces of information for using m=cv. Then do an arrow up to divide by the RFM of the first reactant (the one with both pieces of info) and across to divide by the the RFM of the second reactant, then convert the result to whatever units you need.

This is much easier to explain with a diagram so if you don't understand it, just PM me and I'll try to help :smile:
