The Titration Error
It is the difference between the equivalence point and the end point.
The more accurate the titrimetric method, the smaller the titration error.
The Titration Curve of Acid-Base titrations:
It is the curve obtained by plotting the pH of the titrated solution (y-axis)
against the volume of the titrant added (x-axis). pH
The titration curve is characterized by a Sigmoid
shape and the midpoint of the vertical part of the
curve corresponds to the equivalence point.
