Acid-base titration Aim To study the titration curve of a strong base-strong acid‚ strong base-weak acid and weak acid-strong base titrations Introduction Acid-base titrations are based on the neutralization reaction between the analyte and an acidic or basic titrant. When an acid and a base are present in a stoichiometric amount e.g. 1 mole HCl added to 1 mole NaOH‚ this means that the equivalent point has been reached in an acid-base system. The end point of an acid-base titration can be

Methodology and Results As mentioned‚ the derivation of Phillips Curve requires the estimation of three variables i.e inflation‚ output gap and expected inflation. In order to estimate the expected augmented(Expectations Augmented) Phillips Curve‚ this study covers observations from time period 1961 to 2015 for both countries US and India. The equation of Expected Augmented Phillips Curve(Expectations Augmented Phillips Curve) is ∏t = ∏et + β(Y-Yn) + et where‚ ∏t = inflation at the time period
