Acid–Base Titration
Titration Curves and pH Changes
Description
Acid-base titration uses a known acid or base to find the concentration of an unknown solution. A base can titrate an acid, or an acid can titrate a base. As titrant is added little by little, the pH changes in a predictable way.
The pH change is shown on a titration curve. A titration curve plot...

Transcript
Acid-base titration can be performed to determine an unknown concentration of acid using a known concentration of a base or vice versa.
When titrating an acid with a base, the titrant is gradually added to the acid, raising the pH. The pH change is plotted against the volume of the base to create a titration or pH curve.
The titra...
