Title: Acid-Base Titration using the pH Meter (Potentiometric Titration) Titrations can be done without the use of indicators by utilizing pH meters. The method is very similar to the standard acid/base titration; however, the pH is recorded as the titration proceeds. A plot of pH against volume of reagent added is used to determine the equivalence point of the reaction. 1. Explain how equivalence point, pKa and subsequently, Ka can be obtained from a plot pH vs volume of reagent added
