... back-titration will often yield useful results. In this technique, a measured amount of the reagent, which would normally be the titrant, is added to the sample so that there is a slight excess. After the reaction with the analyte is allowed to go to completion, the amount of excess (unreacted) reagent is determined by titration with another standard solution.
