Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a titration curve, what does a steep slope indicate?
  • Step 1: Understand what a titration curve is. It is a graph that shows how the pH of a solution changes as you add a titrant (like an acid or base).
  • Step 2: Look at the slope of the curve. The slope is how steep the line is on the graph.
  • Step 3: Recognize that a steep slope means the pH is changing quickly with a small amount of titrant added.
  • Step 4: Know that a steep slope usually indicates that the solution being titrated is a strong acid or a strong base.
  • Step 5: Conclude that when you see a steep slope in a titration curve, it means the solution reacts strongly to the addition of the titrant.
