The range of abrupt change in the titration curve plays a key role in selecting an indicator, and also is the important factor to determine whether or not the titration proceeds accurately. Before the stoichiometric point of the chemical reaction, the approximate formula \begin{document}$\mathrm{pH}=\mathrm{p} K_{\mathrm{a}}+\lg \frac{c_{\mathrm{B}^{-}}}{c_{\mathrm{HB}}} $\end{document} can be normally used to obtain the solution pH. However, if[OH^-] is close to c_HB or[H⁺] approaches c_HB, the above approximation should be a serious problem. In this paper, pH approximation formulas for monoprotic weak acid with different concentrations are derived, which satisfy the error requirement (within ±0.02 pH). Before the stoichiometric point (a=0.999), if the solution is acidic (pK_a ≤ 4.0 case), \begin{document}$\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=\frac{10^{-3} c K_{\mathrm{a}}}{c+2 K_{\mathrm{a}}} $\end{document}; if the solution is alkaline (pK_a>4.0 case), \begin{document}$\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=\frac{\left.c K_{\mathrm{a}}+\sqrt{c K_{\mathrm{a}}\left(c K_{\mathrm{a}}+8 \times 10^{-8}\right)}\right)}{2000 c} $\end{document}. After the stoichiometric point (a=1.001), \begin{document}$ \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=\frac{\left.-c K_{\mathrm{a}}+\sqrt{c K_{\mathrm{a}}\left(c K_{\mathrm{a}}+8 \times 10^{-8}\right)}\right)}{2000 c} $\end{document}. The three equations works more properly than the formula \begin{document}$ \mathrm{pH}=\mathrm{p} K_{\mathrm{a}}+\lg \frac{c_{\mathrm{B}}-}{c_{\mathrm{H} \mathrm{B}}}$\end{document}.
