Why is back titration done for this analysis? a.Titration with strong acid and strong base will produce sharper endpoint than titration with strong acid and weak base. b.Nitrogen compounds will only react with excess acids. c.Backtitration will be faster than doing direct titration. d.NH3 is a weak base and large amount of titrant is needed to reach equivalence point.
