When acetic acid is titrated with NaOH, the initial conductance is low due to weak dissociation of acetic acid. As NaOH is added, highly ionized sodium acetate forms, significantly increasing conductance. After neutralization, excess OH− ions further boost conductance sharply due to their high mobility and fast movement through the solution.

When HCl is titrated against NH4OH, conductance initially decreases because fast-moving H3O+ ions are replaced by slower-moving NH4+ ions from the weak base. This decline continues until neutralization is complete. After that, conductance remains relatively stable due to the weak dissociation of the base producing few additional mobile ions.

The endpoint in conductometric titrations is identified by plotting conductance against the volume of titrant added. Two intersecting lines appear on the graph, and their intersection point indicates the equivalence point where the titration is complete. This graphical method provides a clear visual marker for determining when neutralization occurs.

Ions have different mobilities based on their size and charge. Fast-moving ions like H3O+ and OH− contribute more to conductance than slower ions like NH4+. When fast ions are replaced by slower ones during titration, overall conductance decreases, creating the characteristic curve shape observed in strong acid-weak base systems.

Sodium acetate is the product formed when acetic acid reacts with NaOH during titration. Unlike acetic acid, sodium acetate is highly ionized in solution, producing mobile ions that significantly increase conductance. This sharp increase in conductance after the equivalence point helps identify the titration endpoint clearly on the conductance plot.

In weak acid-strong base titrations, conductance increases after the endpoint due to excess OH− ions. In strong acid-weak base titrations, conductance decreases until neutralization, then plateaus because the weak base produces few mobile ions. Both systems show two intersecting lines on conductance plots that mark the equivalence point.

Acetic acid is a weak acid that only partially dissociates into ions in solution. Since conductance depends on the concentration of mobile ions, the low degree of dissociation results in low initial conductance. This changes dramatically when the strong base NaOH is added and produces highly ionized sodium acetate with mobile ions.
