I'm a bit confused about titrations.
When an acid is being titrated by a strong base.
Acid before titration: HA-->H+ + A-
When the strong base is added, lets say NaOH:
1. Do the hydroxide ions reacts with H+ --> h2O and shift the equation to the right
2. Or do the hydroxide ions react with HA causing the reaction to shift?
hope someone can help me out
