Is chromate a suitable indicator for the titration of Ag⁺ with Cl⁻?

To titrate $\ce{Cl-}$ with $\ce{Ag+}$ we use chromate $\ce{CrO4^2-}$ as an indicator. The titration reaction is: $$\ce{Ag+ + Cl- <=> AgCl}\tag{R1}$$ $$K_1 = \frac{1}{K_\mathrm{sp}(\ce{AgCl})} =...

Is pK_{In} = pH at equivalence point still true for weak basic organic indicators?

I am reading Ostwald Theory of Titration which says that indicators are organic weak acids or bases. To prove the relation that $\mathrm{p}K_\mathrm{In} = \mathrm{pH}$, the textbook uses the following ...

What's happening at the beginning of a weak acid titration?

At the beginning of a Weak Acid/Strong Base titration curve there is a sharp decrease in $[\ce{H+}]$ and a sharp increase in pH before the ratio between the weak acid and it's conjugate base becomes ...
