In Partial Defense of Calculating Titration Curves Stephen J. Hawkes
Calculating a titration curve is an unnecessarily complicated method of explaining how a buffer works, and equilibrium calculations are grossly over-emphasized in chemistry teaching.

In Partial Defense of Calculating Titration Curves Daniel C. Harris
There are more important subjects than calculating titration curves for a student whose only formal exposure to analytical chemistry will be an introductory course and whose primary interest is likely to be outside of chemistry (such as the life sciences).

Titration of a Solid Acid Monitored By X-Ray Diffraction Keenan E. Dungey and Paul Epstein
Presents a solid-state laboratory in which students react fixed amounts of zirconium phosphate with increasing equivalents of NaOH(aq). From X-ray diffraction patterns, students calculate the interplanar spacings before and after the reaction. The spacings increase until the molar equivalence point is reached, indicating incorporation of the sodium ion into the crystal.

A Closer Look at AcidBase Olfactory Titrations Kerry Neppel, Maria T. Oliver-Hoyo, Connie Queen, and Nicole Reed
This laboratory experiment uses the sense of smell to determine end points of acidbase titrations. Olfactory indicators include garlic, onions, and vanillin. Results show that garlic and vanillin gave the most accurate results when calculated NaOH molarities were compared to the standardized values. These olfactory indicators in acidbase titrations gave consistent results when tested by a diverse student population. The preparation times, cost, and safety issues are comparable to traditional titration experiments.

A Laser-Pointer-Based Spectrometer for Endpoint Detection of EDTA Titrations Christopher E. Dahm, James W. Hall, and Brian E. Mattioni
A simple laser-pointer-based spectrometer has been developed for endpoint detection of EDTA titrations of magnesium and calcium. This spectrometer was built to decrease the uncertainty in determining the endpoint of titrations performed with a Calmagite indicator. With a photoresistor as the detector, and with the aid of a voltage-divider circuit, the quantity of light being absorbed can be followed with a simple pHvoltmeter. Students determine the endpoint by graphing the data and applying simple mathematics. BeerLambert studies with the spectrometer also show excellent agreement for a given set of solutions.

Choice of Citrus Fruit E. J. Behrman and C. F. Behrman
Sowa and Kondo have published an experiment in which students are asked to imagine that each is an 18th century sea captain about to take a long voyage. Which citrus fruit would the student take? The experiment is designed to measure the vitamin C concentrations in lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruit. But there is another dimension to the sea captains problem, which suggests a very practical extension of the experiment. Which fruit keeps best over a long period?

Canadian Tire Money: An Analogy for Use When Discussing Weak Acid–Strong Base Titrations Arthur M. Last
In this article, use is made of the practice of one well-known Canadian retail chain in returning to its customers a small percentage of an item's purchase price in the form of imitation bank notes that can subsequently be spent in the chain's stores. An analogy is drawn between this practice and the determination of the pKa of a weak acid by titrating it with a strong base, taking into account the hydrolysis of the anion produced.

Predicting Acid-Base Titration Curves without Calculations Dennis W. Barnum
In this paper a qualitative and systematic method for sketching titration curves is presented. Even the more complex cases such as salts or polyprotic acids and bases are treated just as easily as simple monoprotic acids. Having students predict the shape of titration curves from known equilibrium constants helps to focus attention on the general principles without distraction by the mathematics.

Four different types of titration are possible, depending on whether the acid and base are strong or weak. A single unifying formula covering all four cases has been determined.

Olfactory Titration John T. Wood and Roberta M. Eddy
The purpose of this experiment is to use unique acid-base indicator--the odor of raw onion--to indicate the end point of the titration of sodium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid. The use of this novel indicator allows the student to detect the completion of the neutralization reaction by olfaction rather than by sight.
