Why does the titration curve of a strong acid and strong base appear to have a buffer region, if strong acids and bases cannot act as buffers?

Answer #1

Strong acids and bases ionise completely. That's why the concentration of H+ ions (if you are titrating an acid against a base) is high. When you add base drop by drop H+ ion concentration decreases but the decrease is not that significant compared to the H+ ion concentration originally. So, the change in pH is very little.

Same is the case when you titrate a strong base against a strong acid.

That's why it appears to have a buffer region.
