Titration
A titration is used to make soluble salts or to calculate concentration.
How much acid is needed to neutralise an alkali?
In a titration an acid can be added drop by drop to an
alkaline
solution.
The pH of the alkaline solution will decrease
as
more
acid is added.
When the pH goes down to 7, the solution will be neutral.
If more acid is added,
the pH will continue to go down and the solution
becomes acidic.
The point where the solution becomes
neutral
(called the end point) can be found using 3
methods.
1) Use an indicator
or a
pH meter.
2) Measure the conductivity
of the
solution.
3) Measure the amount
of
heat released into the solution.
