Weak Acid - Strong Base Titration Curves

A titration of a weak acid with a strong base results in a titration curve with some notable features, including:
  • buffer zone (weak acid in equilibrium with its conjugate base)
  • point where pH = PKa which can be used to determine pKa, and hence Ka, for the weak acid
  • equivalence point where pH > 7 due to the hydrolysis of the anion
