Weak Acid-Strong Base Titration
A weak acid-strong base titration involves gradually adding a strong base, like sodium hydroxide, to a solution of a weak acid, such as acetic acid. The process is used to find out the acid's concentration. As the base is added, it neutralizes the acid, creating water and a salt. The pH starts low, rises slowly at first, then sharply near the equivalence point when all the acid is neutralized, and finally levels off. The titration curve helps determine the exact point where neutralization occurs, revealing the weak acid’s concentration precisely.
