    Acid-Base Titrations

    Weak Acid-Strong Base Titrations
  • For a strong acid-strong base titration, the pH begins at less than 7 and gradually increases as base is added.
  • Near the equivalence point, the pH increases dramatically.
  • For a weak acid-strong base titration, the initial pH rise is more steep than the strong acid-strong base case.
  • However, then there is a leveling off due to buffer effects.
