Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The $pH$ of titration of pyridine - $HCl$ system has to be calculated when volume of $HCl$ is $14.63\text{ mL}\text{.}$

Concept introduction:

Acid-base titration is titration between acid and base. It is also known as neutralization reaction.

There are primarily four types of acid-base titrations –

• Strong base vs strong acid
• Strong base vs weak acid
• Weak base vs strong acid
• Weak base vs weak acid

Titration of pyridine - $HCl$ is a type of weak base – strong acid titration as pyridine is weak base and $HCl$ is strong acid.

The term $pH$ refers to concentration of $H^{+}$ion in a solution.
