The titer of HC! is de- termined by using tris(hydroxymethyl)-ami- nomethane (Tris) as the standard titrimetric substance. As Tris is a weak base, the equiv- lence point of the titration is at approx. pH 5.2, i. on the acidic side, The broad plateau that lies before it demonstrates the butfer- properties of the Tris/Tris hydrochloride mixture formed during the titration. The true concentration of the HCI is obtained from the product of the approximate concentration and the titer.
