What is the significance of the equivalence point in a titration?
  1. It is the point where the indicator changes color
  2. It is the point where the amount of titrant equals the amount of analyte
  3. It is the point where the solution is neutral
  4. It is the point where the reaction starts

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the significance of the equivalence point in a titration?
  • Step 1: Understand what a titration is. It is a method used to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution.
  • Step 2: Identify the two main components in a titration: the titrant (the solution you add) and the analyte (the solution you are measuring).
  • Step 3: Know that the equivalence point is the moment in the titration when the amount of titrant added exactly reacts with the analyte.
  • Step 4: Realize that at the equivalence point, the number of moles of titrant equals the number of moles of analyte based on their chemical reaction.
  • Step 5: Understand that reaching the equivalence point is important because it allows you to calculate the concentration of the analyte accurately.
