Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The correct indicator should be identifed given the titation of ammonia
Concept introduction:
Titration is a quantitative method to determine the quantity of an acid or base in a solution. This method is used to determine the concentration an acid in the solution by titrating it against a base. There are four types of acid-base titrations.
(1) Strong acid-Strong base, in this type of titration a strong acid is titrated against a strong base for example,
(2) Strong acid-Weak base, in this type of titration a strong acid is titrated against a weak base for example,
(3) Weak acid-Strong base, in this type of titration a weak acid is titrated against a strong base for example,
(4) Weak acid-Weak base, in this type of titration a weak acid is titrated against a weak base for example,
For weak base-strong acid titration the
