Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Process that involves during the determination of the concentration of an acid using an acid–base titration has to be identified from the given options.

Concept-Introduction:

Acid–base titration: It consists of a neutralization reaction where a measured volume of a known concentrated an acid or a base is used for determining the concentration of an unknown solution of base or acid with known volume.  The known concentrated solution is called the titrant, while the unknown concentrated solution is called the analyte.

Acid–base indicator: It is a compound used to identify the endpoint in an acid–base titration.  Depending on the pH of a solution, these compounds exhibit different colors. Generally, an indicator has a particular color in an acidic solution and another color in basic solution.
