Abstract:
The principles of two algorithms allowing the calculations of the concentration and activity levels of the different species during acid-base titrations in water are described. They simulate titrations at constant and variable ionic strengths respectively. They are designed so acid and base strengths, their concentrations and the titrant volume added can be chosen freely. The calculations are based on rigorous equations with a general scope. They are sufficiently compact to be processed on pocket calculators. The algorithms can easily simulate pH-metric, spectrophotometric, conductometric and calorimetric titrations, and hence allow determining concentrations and some physico-chemical constants related to the occurring chemical systems.

Titration of a Weak Acid with a Strong Base
Titration Calculations: Strong Acid - Strong Base
A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:
