Question

What is the significance of equivalence point in acid base titrations?

Answer 1

Hey there!

The equivalence is point in a titration is the point at which you have neutralized all of your base/acid with your titrant acid/base from a buret. This can be seen with indicators which change color at the equivalence point in a titration to signal to you that all of your base/acid has been reacted with. For example, all your molecules of OH⁻ from a NaOH base in a beaker have been neutralized by H⁺of HCl acid from your titrant in a buret leaving only Na⁺ ions and Cl⁻ ions and neutral H₂O molecules.
