Key concepts

3 concepts

  1. 1

    Acid-base titration determines the amount of acid or base in a solution by finding the exact volume of acid or base needed for a complete reaction.

  2. 2

    The equivalence point on a titration curve is where enough base has been added to neutralize the exact amount of acid in the solution, and is recognized using an indicator.

  3. 3

    When neutralizing a strong acid with a strong base, the equivalence point is 7, but this number varies if either or both species are weak.

Quick comprehension check

20 mL of hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution of unknown concentration is titrated with a 0.5 M solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The equivalence point is reached when 15 mL of the NaOH solution is added. Calculate the concentration of the HCl solution.
