What is Titration Curve?
A titration curve is a graph of pH (or potential) versus volume of titrant added during a titration. It shows how the pH changes as titrant is added, revealing the equivalence point (where stoichiometric amounts of reactants have been mixed), buffer regions, and the appropriate indicator range. Different shapes of curves are seen for strong acid-strong base, weak acid-strong base, and polyprotic acid titrations.
