Titration lab

Titration Lab The study of acid-base titrations involves consideration of the reactants which occur between acids and bases. For this purpose, it is convenient to distinguish between strong and weak acids and bases. The term “strong” usually refers to a substance which is completely dissociated into its component ions in a solution, while “weak” generally refers to a substance which is only partially dissociated.
