Acids and bases Flashcards
1
Q
what is meant by the equivalence point in a titration?
A
when sufficient base has been added to just neutralise the acid (or vice versa)
2
Q
relationship between pH and pKa
A
pH = pKa
3
Q
picking a suitable indicator
A
the indicator needs to change colour at exactly the end point of the titration, so pick one that changes colour over a narrow pH range that lies entirely on the vertical part of the pH curve
