Strong Acid Titrated With Strong Base

A strong acid titrated with a strong base will reach an equivalence point at pH 7 as the strong base neutralizes the strong acid. A weak acid titrated with a strong base will have an equivalence point at a pH higher than 7 because the conjugate base of the weak acid is also basic and raises the pH above neutral at the endpoint.

Strong Acid Titrated with Strong Base


When a strong acid is titrated with a strong base, we will expect the equivalence point to be at a pH
of 7, as the strong base will neutralize the strong acid. The acidic starting solution will be of a low
pH and, as the base is added, it will raise the pH.

2. Weak Acid Titrated with Strong Base


In a titration of a weak acid with a strong base, the titration curve changes slightly, as is seen in
Figure 2. The equivalence point of the titration will now be at a pH higher than 7. This is because
when the weak acid reacts, its anion is a base.
