Question

What is the general equation for an acid base titration?

Answer 1

See explanation.

Explanation:

The general acid-base titration equation could be written as:

`HA(aq) + B(aq) ->BH^+(aq) + A^(-)(aq)`

Where,
`HA` represents the acid,
`B` represents the base,
`BH^+` is the conjugate acid of `B` and
`A^(-)` is the conjugate base of `HA`

For strong acid - Strong base titration, the net ionic equation is written as:

`H^+(aq) + OH^(-)(aq)->H_2O(l)`

For weak acid - Strong base titration, the net ionic equation is written as:

`HA(aq) + OH^(-)(aq)->A^(-)(aq) + H_2O(l)`
