End Point: Where the indicator changes colour
Equivalence Point: Point where the reactants are in their mole ratios (I think)

Someone correct me if im worng...havent done chem in two months :?

edit: You always try to get the end point as close as possible to the equivilance point, and so that is why u might think they are the same thing.

That is correct

The end point of the titration is usually indicated by a change in colour of a small amount of indicator solution added to the mixture of reactants.

For an acid-base titration an indicator is selected that changes colour at the pH of the salt solution formed at the point of neutralisation. This is known as the equivalence point

Pathways >> worst textbook ever. It doesn't get to the point and you can never find what you want from there
Conquering Chem >> not bad, has several mistakes in it though
Chemistry Contexts >> Excellent! Tells you everything you need to know in detail and is easy to understand

i checked contexts and i like it but there's no answers to it! conquering isn't available at the local bookshops so i had to buy pathways instead. it's pretty good so far. might go to parramatta to buy conq chem.

context gives you a CD at the back of the books.. the answers are there ;)

are you looking at conquering chem HSC or prelim? because i'm sure alot of 04ers are going to be selling their textbooks and i know a few people who have context (me too :p) :D

i would advise against excel and i would advise conquering chem and chemistry contexts.. they are the best i think. dont waste ur money on excel it is really useless -- i found it unorganised and uncomprehensive.

Simply rule: Don't buy excel, everybody else does, and it means that all the answers are the same.

Any textbook that lets you understand is good, I like conquering chem and contexts though.
