Definition
A titration curve is a graphical representation of the pH of a solution as a function of the volume of added titrant. It's used to determine the equivalence point and end point in a chemical reaction.
This is when exactly enough titrant has been added to react with all of the analyte (the substance being analyzed) in a chemical reaction.
End Point: This is the point at which an indicator changes color during a titration, signaling that sufficient titrant has been added to react with the analyte.
pH Indicator: A chemical compound that changes color based on its pH level or other chemical change.
