Question

The second end point in the titration curve does not have an easy to define equivalence point and you are worried your estimates will have a lot of error.  One of your podmate’s older sister is in grad school and she suggested using derivatives to improve the precision of the calculation.  She also sent along the plot shown for some of her biochemical research, which suddenly makes you realize that maybe what you are learning in your gen chem lab is useful.   

 

What is the value of using derivatives to  find the equivalence point?
