Introduction for Module 6 – Titrations

Textbook: Open Stax Chemistry 2e

Suggested Reading: Chapter 14.7

Learning Objectives:

• Interpret titration curves for strong and weak acid-base systems
• Compute sample pH at important stages of a titration
• Explain the function of acid-base indicators

• As an acidic sample (analyte) has strong base of known concentration (titrate) added the pH will rise in a predictable way, which can be used to quantify the analyte originally present. Figure 14.18 (a) The titration curve by OpenStax is licensed under CC BY 4.0.
