Making chemical equations in titrations

Hey all,
Should we be able to derive chemical equations from the known substances in titration for the exam or will vcaa provide us with the equation?? For example, sodium hydroxide solution and methanoic acid reaction.

Having a quick look over past chemistry exams, it seems that most titration questions provide you with the chemical equation for the reaction. This being said, I think its completely fair for VCAA to expect you to balance and determine the chemical equation yourself when given the products and reactants of the titration reaction. Infact the study design specifies that you need to know how to write balanced equations for both acid-base and redox reaction - both being the types of reactions you will encounter in titration experiments. As such, it is a fair expectation for you to be able to write the equation for the reaciton of sodium hydroxide solution and methanoic acid.

Hopefully this helps and feel free to ask if you need help with writing these full equations. :)

Hey sorry to bother how would i go about writing acid base reactions?
