Titration and Buffer Solutions

Vocabulary flashcards related to titrations, buffer solutions, and solubility product concepts.

Buffer Solutions

Solutions that resist changes in pH upon addition of small amounts of acid or base.

Titration

An analytical technique used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution by neutralizing it with a solution of known concentration (titrant).

Analyte

The substance being analyzed in a titration.

Endpoint

The point at which the titration has ended, ideally coinciding with the equivalence point.

Equivalence Point (Eq. Pt.)

The point in a titration where the amount of titrant added is chemically equivalent to the amount of analyte in the sample.

Acid/Base Titration

A type of titration involving reactions between acids and bases.

Titrations of Polyprotic Acids

Titration involving acids that can donate more than one proton.

Solubility Product (Ksp)

The equilibrium constant representing the solubility of a sparingly soluble salt.
