Question

How does the end point differ from the equivalence point of a titration?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Equivalence point and end point are terminologies in pH titrations and they are not the same.

Explanation:

In a titration the substance added slowly to a solution usually through a pippette is called titrante and the solution to which it is added is called titrand. In acid-base titrations acid is added to base or base is added to acid.the strengths of the acid and base titrated determines the nature of the final solution.

At equivalence point the number of moles of the acid will be equal to the number of moles of the base as given in the equation.  The nature of the final solution determines the pH at equivalence point.

A pH less than 7 will be the result if the resultant is acidic and if it is basic the pH will be greater than 7. In a strong base-strong acid and weak base-weak acid titration the pH at the equivalence point will be 7 indicating neutral nature of the solution.
