<h2>Key Concepts and Summary</h2>
<p>A titration curve is a <a data-lesson="graphs-and-le-chateliers-principle" data-subject="chemistry" data-tutorial="chemical-equilibrium" href="https://app.ulearngo.com/chemistry/chemical-equilibrium/graphs-and-le-chateliers-principle">graph</a> that relates the change in pH of an acidic or basic solution to the volume of added titrant. The characteristics of the titration curve are dependent on the specific <a data-lesson="solutions" data-subject="chemistry" data-tutorial="quantitative-aspects-chemical-change" href="https://app.ulearngo.com/chemistry/quantitative-aspects-chemical-change/solutions">solutions</a> being titrated. The pH of the solution at the equivalence point may be greater than, equal to, or less than 7.00. The choice of an indicator for a given titration depends on the expected pH at the equivalence point of the titration, and the range of the color change of the indicator.</p>

Summarizing Acid-Base Titrations

Chemistry generally explores the substances of which matter is composed, the investigation of their properties and reactions, and the use of such reactions to form new substances. 

Chemistry

Learn about the principles and concepts of acid-base equilibria, including Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases, relative strengths of acids and bases, pH and pOH, acid-base neutralization, buffers, and titration curves, among others.
