How is the acidic concentration of a solution determined?

How do you know when the endpoint is reached in a titration? When does this occur?


PLEASE BE ACCURATE! THANK YOU!!:)

Answer:

A. The acidic concentration of a solution can be determined by titrating with a strong base. You calculate the number of moles of strong base required to reach the equivalence point of the titration. Then, using the mole ratio from the balanced neutralization equation, convert from moles of strong base to moles of acid. [source, Khan Academy]

B. The endpoint is reached in a titration when the indicator used changes color (i.e, pink).

Step-by-step explanation:

For B, if you do it correctly, the equivalence point is eventually reached and this is signified by the change in color of the indicator in the analyte solution.
