Some aspects of aqueous equilibria are: The common ion effect: Adding a strong electrolyte with an ion in common with a weak electrolyte decreases the dissociation of the weak electrolyte. The buffer region: Before the equivalence point, the solution contains a mixture of a weak acid and its salt. This is also known as the buffer region of the curve. The equivalence point: At the equivalence point, the moles of acid equal the moles of base. The solution contains only water and the salt from the cation of the base and the anion of the acid.
