How does a buffer behave differently from a strong acid or a strong base during titration? Check this model. Starting at the same pH level, see how much more titrant is needed to cause a significant pH change.
Dissociation of the strong acid/base and weak acid/base.
The pH changes in the titration processes of the strong acid/base and buffer.
Choose different test pairs
Adjust the titrant concentration and does
Hide some ions to help observations
