Titration — Strong Acid with Strong Base

Enter acid concentration and volume, plus base concentration. Add any number of base additions (mL). The tool finds the equivalence point and halfway point, computes pH at key volumes (0 mL, halfway, equivalence, ±1 mL around equivalence), your custom points, and plots the titration curve.

Add any number of base-addition volumes (mL). Use the + button to add rows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the equivalence point in a strong acid-strong base titration?

The equivalence point is the added base volume where moles of OH- added equal the initial moles of H+ (complete neutralization). The calculator finds it using Veq = (Ca x Va) / Cb.

How is pH calculated before the equivalence point?

Before equivalence, H+ is in excess, so the calculator computes remaining moles of H+ and divides by total volume to get [H+]. Then pH = -log10([H+]).

Why does the calculator give pH 7.00 at the equivalence point?

For a strong acid and strong base at 25 C, the salt formed does not hydrolyze significantly, so the solution is approximately neutral at equivalence. The calculator reports pH = 7.00 at that point.

What does the halfway point mean for a strong acid-strong base titration?

The halfway point is the volume where the added base is half the equivalence volume (Vhalf = Veq / 2). Unlike weak-acid titrations, the halfway pH is not equal to pKa for strong acids.

Can I calculate pH at my own added-base volumes?

Yes, you can add any number of base-added volumes as rows, and the calculator will compute pH for each custom point. It also automatically evaluates points around equivalence to show the sharp pH jump.
