Mainly on the nature (strength) and concentrations of the acid and base being titrated — in practice that means:
- Whether the acid and/or base are strong or weak (strong–strong, strong–weak, weak–strong, weak–weak) — this largely fixes the shape, presence/absence of a buffer region, and the pH at the equivalence point.
- The pKa (or pKb) values of the species — these determine buffer regions and the pH of half‑equivalence points.
- The concentrations/volumes used — these affect the initial pH, steepness of the pH jump at equivalence, and total volume at equivalence.
Other factors that can modify the curve: ionic strength, temperature, and whether the analyte is polyprotic (multiple equivalence points).
If you have specific answer choices, paste them and I’ll pick the correct one.
