While every curve looks slightly different depending on the substances used, they all share four distinct regions:

The vertical inflection point where the moles of acid exactly equal the moles of base. This is the "moment of truth" in a titration.

A unique spot halfway to the equivalence point where the pH equals the pKap cap K sub a of the acid. Strong Acid vs. Weak Base (e.g., HCl and Ammonia)

Always above pH 7 (basic), due to the formation of a conjugate base.

A period where the pH changes slowly because the solution is resisting drastic shifts.

Testing the alkalinity of lake water to monitor the effects of acid rain.
