Laboratory sessions demonstrate titration curve characteristics in acid-base reactions, suggesting effects of ionization constants.

The aim is to investigate how different acids affect titration curves and derive meaningful constants.
Conduct sequential acid-base titrations using different acids and bases.
Analyze the titration and derivative curves in pairs.
Determine acid ionization constants and predict expected curves for diprotic and triprotic systems.
Compare changes in pH across various titration scenarios.
Determined that the lowest Ka to show a discernable equivalence point is approximately 10^-10.
Observed a relationship between minimal pH change in acid titrations and larger changes in the corresponding conjugate base titrations.
Successfully predicted titration curves for diprotic and triprotic acid systems.

Nyasulu et al. (2016) studied this question.
