But adding base causes the equilibrium
to shift, according to LeChâtelier's Principle, and as H+
is consumed, more of the weak acid breaks up to replace the
amount that has reacted. This behavior is rapid enough that there
is no real difference in the stoichiometric end result. But getting there is
somewhat different.  
The tendency of weak acid anions (like CH3COO-)
or weak base cations (like NH4+) to recombine with hydrogen or
hydroxide ions (or exchange protons with other aqueous species)
sets the stage for other interesting aqueous behavior including
some of the differences in the titration curves we have examined.
Stay tuned....
