Difference Between Endpoint and Equivalence Point

6 Difference Between Endpoint and Equivalence Point

The main difference between the endpoint and the equivalence point in a titration is the concentration of the reactants in the solution. 

S.NO.	Endpoint	Equivalence Point
1.	The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes color, indicating that the reaction is complete.	The equivalence point is the point at which the reactants are present in stoichiometric proportions.
2.	The endpoint is determined by the presence of an indicator.	The equivalence point is determined by the concentration of the reactants in the solution.
3.	The endpoint is a visual indication of the completion of the reaction.	The equivalence point is a more precise measurement of the reaction.
4.	The endpoint is typically used to determine the concentration of a reactant in a solution.	The equivalence point is used to determine the amount of reactant that is needed to completely react with another reactant.
5.	The endpoint is often used in acid-base titrations.	The equivalence point is used in both acid-base and redox titrations.
6.	The endpoint is typically determined through the use of an indicator.	The equivalence point is determined through the measurement of the pH or the potential of the solution.
