A plot of a
variable related to a relevant concentration (activity) as the ordinate vs. some measure of
the amount of
titrant, usually
titration volume (titre) as the abscissa. If the
variable is linearly related to concentrations, such as the electrical
conductance or the photometric
absorbance, the term linear
titration curve is used. When a logarithmic expression of the concentration or activity is
used, such as the
,
,
or the electrical potential in
, the curve is referred to as a logarithmic
titration curve.
