Another important aspect is how the structure of the acid/base alters the
buffer region of the graph. As shown by the small bumps in graph 2 and 3 (at
10ml) and the bump in the derivative in graph 1. This occurs (at half the
concentration of the equivalence point) when the [HA] and [A-]
concentrations are equal, forming a buffer that resists pH change. However,
this doesnt occur in strong acid strong base titrations as shown in graph 4
because their conjugate anions and cations do not affect the pH. In this way,
we see another way the structure of the acid alters the pH curve, while the
concentration has less effect.
