It is difficult to determine the end point of such a titration, because the titration produces a buffer solution that changes its pH very slowly at the end point, in contrast to reaction between a strong acid and strong base.
In a chemical equation, weak acids and weak bases are usually recognizable by the _______.
Lowest pH, strong acids, then weak acids, then salts of strong acids and strong bases, then salts of weak acids and strong bases, then weak bases, then strong bases. All very confusing!
Because the conjugate bases are unstable the carboxylic acids are weak acids.
buffers
This is so because titration of a weak acid with a weak base do not give a sharp change inconductivity curve. Hence it is not possible to determine the end point from the curve.

weak acids/bases.
buffers
yes
Buffer systems. They convert strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases.
Buffers.

no they act stronger
no they act stronger
How strong or weak the acids or bases are.
