Now this type of titration has the weak acid as the titrate and the strong base as the titrate. Remember, your titrate is always going to be a strong species is what you typically will see. So the weak asset has to be the titrate. Now when a weak species in the form of the weak acid reacts with a strong species, in this case in the form of a strong base, we use what's called an ICF chart.
ICF stands for Initial Change Find. Here we're going to say the ICF truck is used to calculate the final amounts of compounds. The units of an ICF chart will be in moles. And here you need to remember that moles=liters×molarity. Now at this pressing point, we're going to look at titrations under this category that happened before the equivalence point.
Now before the equivalence point. We're going to say in this part of the titration the moles of weak acid is greater than the moles of strong bass. And we're going to say here as a strong base neutralize the weak acid, some conjugate base is going to be formed. So keep in mind when we take a look at the questions under this type or this portion of our titration.
