A '''Job plot''' (also known as the Method'''method of Continuouscontinuous Variationvariation''' or '''Job's Methodmethod'''; named after P. Job) is used to determine the [[stoichiometry]] of a binding event. This method is widely used in [[analytical chemistry]], [[instrumental analysis]], and advanced [[chemical equilibrium]] texts and research articles.

In solutions where two species are present (i.e. species A and species B), one species (A) may [[bind]] to the other species (B). In some cases, more than one A will bind with a single B. One way to determine the amount of A binding to B is by using a Job plot.
