Acid base titration


An acid-base titration is a
procedure used in quantitative
chemical analysis to determine the
concentration of either acid or a
base.



The equivalence of an acid-base
titration is the point at which there
are equal amounts (in moles) of
H3O+ and OH- in titration flask.
H3O+ + OH-

H2O



End point of titration – the point in a titration at
which the indicator changes colour.



The indicator should change colour sharply at
the equivalence point.



At the end point of the titration,
- all the acid has been neutralised by the alkali
- the solution in the conical flask contain salt and
water only.


Acid base indicators are weak organic acids
that dissociate slightly in aqueous solutions
to form ions.



The indicators can change colour because
their ions have colours that are different from
undissociated molecule.
