Is the Equivalence Point?

The equivalence point is the point in a titration where the amount of titrant

titrant
In 1828, the French chemist Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac first used titre as a verb (titrer), meaning "to determine the concentration of a substance in a given sample". Volumetric analysis originated in late 18th-century France.

added is enough to completely neutralize the analyte solution. The moles of titrant (standard solution) equal the moles of the solution with unknown concentration.

How do you find the equivalence point?

On the curve, the equivalence point is located where the graph is most steep. There is a fast and abrupt change of pH around this point, which can be observed by the color change the takes place during titration. At the equivalence point, an ICE table is required to determine volume and acidity.

Is the equivalence point at 7?

volume of titrant can be made (titration curve). ... In strong acid-weak base titrations, the pH at the equivalence point is not 7 but below it. This is due to the production of a conjugate acid during the titration; it will react with water to produce hydronium (H3O+) ions.
