What is the main purpose of using a buffer solution in titration?
  1. To increase the solubility of the titrant
  2. To maintain a constant pH during the reaction
  3. To enhance the color change of the indicator
  4. To reduce the volume of the solution

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main purpose of using a buffer solution in titration?
  • Step 1: Understand what a titration is. It is a method used to determine the concentration of a solution.
  • Step 2: Know that during titration, we mix two solutions together.
  • Step 3: Realize that the pH of the solution can change during this mixing process.
  • Step 4: A buffer solution is a special type of solution that resists changes in pH.
  • Step 5: Using a buffer solution helps keep the pH stable while the titration is happening.
  • Step 6: A stable pH is important because it leads to more accurate results in the titration.
