Adding NaOH-sol'n to oxalic acid, C2H2O4, the colour (from colorless) has to become purple-blue at pH 8 to 10.

The purpose of an indicator in a titration experiment?
The indicator is used to measure the end point of titration. Methyl red and phenolphthalein are frequently used indicators in acid-base titration. Potassium permanganate can used as a self indicator in redox titrations where applicable.
Why is starch solution used as indicator in Sodium thiosulphate Iodine titrations instead of phenolphthalein indicator?
Phenolphthalein is an acid base indicator - it does not show the end-point in a thiosulfate type titration. Starch gives a very sharp end-point from a blue-black to colorless end-point when titrating iodine with thiosulfate. Phenolphthalein would just not detect this change.
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 is the function of an indicator in titration?
Change color
What is a function of an indicator in a titration?
The function is to change color. This happens when all the H+ ( or H3O+) from the acid has been neutralized, an indicator in the sample will change
Which indicator is used for titration of C2H2O4 with NaOH?
Phenolphtalein change colorless at pH < 8 to purple blue at pH > 8 to 10

How could you determine whether phenolphthalein remains in the residue of a titration reaction?
The easiest way is to add back some of the solution you were titrating. If phenolphthalein remains, it will react with the solution and change back to purple. Incidentally, phenolphthalein will always remain in the solution of the titration reaction - it changes color depending upon the pH of the solution, but the indicator itself is not affected by the titration reaction.

How does phenolphthalein work?
Phenolphthalein is an indicator that undergoes a colour change from colourless to pink that begins at a pH of 8.0. So in the titration your performing the phenolphthalein will start to change colour at the point when the moles of acid equal the moles of base. Although this colour change occurs at a pH of 8.0 and not at a pH of 7.0 phenolphthalein is commonly used because of the distinctive colour change that occurs. Phenolphthalein is colourless in acids and pink/purple in base. It also turns orange in very strong acids.
What is the function of an indicator in titration?
Change color
The true equivalence point in these titration was at pH7 What is the pH range for the color change of phenolphthalein?
Phenolphthalein changes from colorless to red in the range of pH = 8.0 to 9.6
What chemical change in orange?
You think probable to phenolphthalein used as a pH indicator.
How does the color change when a strong acid is added an alkali to neutralise?
The color does not change unless an indicator such as litmus or phenolphthalein is being used. If litmus the color change is blue to red If phenolphthalein the change is red to colorless

What changes color at the endpoint of titration?
change in pH, changes the colour (of the indicator)
