In an acid – base titration, the titration curve reflects the strengths of the
corresponding acid and base. If one reagent is a weak acid or base and the
other is a strong acid or base, the titration curve is irregular, and the pH shifts
less with small additions of titrant near the equivalence point. An acid-base
titration is a quantitative analysis of acids and bases; through this process, an
acid or base of known concentration neutralizes an acid or base of unknown
concentration. The titration progress can be monitored by visual indicators,
pH electrodes, or both. When chemicals are introduced to an acidic solution,
they turn a different color. The indicator used in the experiment or film is
phenolphthalein. An unknown concentration (1.0 solution) and the other
reactant (Hydrochloric acid) and the result is 25ml of 1.013M HCI and 21.5ml
of NaOH. The concentration of the original NaOH solution is 1.17M.
A burette is used to mix the reactants together. The analyte is a reactant with
an unknown concentration (1.0 solution) that is placed into an Erlenmeyer
flask. The other reactant (Hydrochloric acid) is kept in a burette and will be
given during the process. The titrant is the name for it.
The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes color. In an acid-
base titration, adding an indicator to the analyte solution allows us to clearly
recognize the equivalence point. In an acid-base titration, the endpoint is the
point at which the indicator changes color. We either add acid to the base or
the base to the acid in acid-base titrations. In both cases, the titration tests
result in the production of salt and water.

forgotten to add phenolphthalein to the sample flask.
