Yes.

Phenolphthalein can be used as an indicator for the titration of a weak acid (oxalic acid) against strong base (sodium hydroxide).

Is phenolphthalein the indicator used in the titration of Na2CO3 against HCl solution?

Type your answer here... Phenolphthaelin indicator changes its colour at 8.3 pH. But the end point of this reaction is at pH 7. In weak base Strong acid case the curve gives sharp change from 3.2 to 6.0 pH. Hence phenolphthalein indicator will not be advicable.

What can affect purity of aspirin?

Firstly place 100 to 150 mg of aspirin into a 125 ml conical flask. Next proceed to mix in 15 ml of 95% ethanol solution and add 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator. Then use the titration method to mix this solution against a standard solution of sodium hydroxide from a burette. Using the value obtained from the titration calculate the molarity of the aspirin. Then calculate the ratio of the observed molarity of aspirin with its theoretical molarity and finally multiply this ratio with 100 to obtain the percentage purity of the aspirin sample.

Why do you titrate strong base against weak acid using phenolphthalein?

A strong base and weak acid gives a basic salt. Therefore the end point of a titration between a strong base and a weak base has a pH value above than 7.0 at 298K. As the end point of phenolphthalein is around 9.1 (~can vary between the values of 8.1 to 10.1) at this temperature, it would give more accurate results.
