Identify the titration curve for a monoprotic weak acid titrated with a strong base.

Titration is a technique to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. As illustrated in the titration setup above, a solution of known concentration (titrant) is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution (titrand or analyte).

Typically, the titrant (the solution of known concentration) is added through a burette to a known volume of the analyte (the solution of unknown concentration) until the reaction is complete. Knowing the volume of titrant added allows us to determine the concentration of the unknown analyte. Often, an indicator is used to signal the end of the reaction, the endpoint. Titrant and analyte is a pair of acid and base. Acid-base titrations are monitored by the change of pH as titration progresses.

Let us be clear about some terminologies before we get into the discussion of titration curves.
