Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The titration among strong acid with a strong base, strong acid with a weak base, and weak acid with a strong base which describes the titration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{PO}}_{\text{4}}\left(aq\right)$ with $\text{NaOH}\left(aq\right)$ is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

According to Arrhenius theory, an acid is defined as a species which donates a proton. An acid is defined as a species which can donate a proton $\left({\text{H}}^{+}\right)$. The weak acid that dissociates partially $\left(\sim 1\%\right)$ in the water. The strong acid dissociates completely $\left(\sim 100\%\right)$ in water.
