Learning Objective

I can identify neutralization reactions and perform calculations to determine the concentration or volume of reactants and products.

  • 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

    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

    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.
