What is an acid based titration?
An acid-base titration is a method in chemistry that allows quantitative analysis of the concentration of an unknown acid or base solution. It makes use of the neutralization reaction that occurs between acids and bases and the knowledge of how acids and bases will react if their formulas are known.Acid-Base titrations can also be used to find percent purity of chemicals. The method is as follows: Before starting the titration a suitable pH indicator must be chosen. The endpoint of the reaction, the point at which all the reactants have reacted, will have a pH dependent on the relative strengths of the acid and base used. The pH of the endpoint can be estimated using the following rules: A strong acid will react with a strong base to form a neutral (pH=7) solution. A strong acid will react with a weak base to form an acidic (pH<7) solution. A weak acid will react with a strong base to form a basic (pH>7) solution. When a weak acid reacts with a weak base, the endpoint solution will be
