Chapter 10, Problem 10.5P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason behind usage of maximum of first derivative curves or usage of zero cross mark of the double derivative curve to identify end point has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

In an acid base-kind of titration, progress of reaction is quantified by neutralization of analyte when definite volume of titrant is added. The indicators used are sensitive to $\text{pH}$ changes. Suitability of such indicator is governed by their ability to detect end point accurately when the equivalence point is reached.
