Which of the following is NOT needed to calculate the endpoint of a titration?

Correct Answer: D. pH of the titrant
During a titration procedure, a buret is lowered into a clean Erlenmeyer flask. The initial volume of titrant is recorded and a stream of titrant is delivered while constantly mixing the sample solution. Once the pH indicator changes colors we have reached the endpoint. The final volume is recorded and used in conjunction with the initial volume to find the volume of titrant used, and along with the concentration of the titrant to find how many moles of titrant were used. Finally, we can use stoichiometry of the titration reaction to calculate the number of moles of reactant in our solution. The pH of the titrant is not needed.
