Titration curve for weak base with strong acid

• Example: titration of NH3 sample or NaHCO3 sample with standard HCl.

NH3 + H+ → NH4+  HCO3– + H+ → CO2 + H2O

• Indicators with transition ranges in the acidic region can be used: methyl

orange, bromocresol green or methyl red. Phenolphthalein cannot be used.
