1 pre-equivalence: at the pre-equivalence point, an almost linear relationhip betw een the titrant and the analyte occurs

(refer to graphs) signifying the acid-bas e reaction and the formation of salts that increase the pH of the solution. equivalence: at the equivalence point, a drastic change of pH is observed. this signifies the addition of the smallest amount of titrant to fully react with all of the analyte in the solution. post-equivalence: at the post-eq point, all the analyte has already been titrate d and there is an excess of the titrant, therefore adding more titrant would cau se only the slightest of changes in the pH of the overall solution

2. since ionic strength is not a factor in potentiometric titrations (skoog et. al.), weak acids that do not dissociate completely and thus have lower ionic str ength can be analysed with less considerations taken into account. 3. Human limitations factor in as the main reason behind the discrepancies in th e measurement of the Ka values. the addition of titrant, measures in concentrati on and the limitations of human eyes to measure may have been an issue in measur ing thus the discrepancies 4.dehydration - indeterminate other human errors - indeterminate
