After completing this activity, students will be able to:
- Determine the pH at any point throughout an acid-base titration including the titration of:
- A strong acid with a strong base
- A strong base with a strong acid
- A weak acid with a strong base
- A weak base with a strong acid
- Describe the general nature of the solution in terms of how to calculate pH for the following regions of an acid-base titration:
- Region I: before any titrant added
- Region II: partway to the equivalence point
- Region III: at the equivalence point
- Region IV: past the equivalence point
- Compare how concentration and strength of an acid or base changes the appearance of a titration curve.
