Titration Curve: Strong Acid–Strong Base Shape
Captions available
The idea
A strong acid–strong base titration curve starts low, rises gradually, then jumps sharply through pH 7 at the equivalence point before leveling off high.
In practice
Titrating HCl with NaOH produces a symmetric S-curve crossing pH 7 exactly at the equivalence point.
Where people slip
The steep jump is the titration's most informative feature, not an artifact to smooth over when sketching the curve.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
