What criterion is used in selecting an indicator for a particular acid-base titration?
the factors are - 1. the kind of titration ie strong acid -strong base,strong acid -weak base,weak acid-strong base,weakacid -weak base. 2.the endpoint 3. the rate of rxn
A titration of an acid and base to the equivalence point results in a noticeably acidic solution It is likely this titration involves?
a strong acid and a weak base.
Will the solution at the end point of an acidbase titration be acidic neutral or alkaline if it is a weak acid and strong base?
alkaline obviously! strong acid + strong base= neutral strong acid + weak base= acidic weak acid + strong base= alkaline
What will be the pH at the equivalence point of the titration in question 3?
For strong acid/strong base reactions: pH 7 is the equivalence point For titration of a weak base with strong acid : pH 6-3 is the equivalence point For titration of a weak acid with strong base : pH 8-11 is the equivalence point For weak acid/weak base reactions it is also around pH 7, but it happens so NON-sharply, vague, that titrations can't be used for these.
Which indicator is used for the titration of weak acid and strong base?
Phenopthalene is used commonly

a strong acid and a weak base.
Why titration of weak acid and weak base are not done?
because the pH change involved is very small and it is generally difficult to find the end point
Which of the following is titrated using strong bases?
Titration is the controlled neutralisation of an acid and a base. If the titration is done using a weak acid and a strong base, it can be analysed in detail and all concentrations of the aqueous species at any volume addition of the titrant can be determined.
Why titration of weak acids and weak bases are not done?
It is difficult to determine the end point of such a titration, because the titration produces a buffer solution that changes its pH very slowly at the end point, in contrast to reaction between a strong acid and strong base.

What is phenolphthalein used in titration labs?
Phenolphtalein is an indicator used to find the endpoint of a reaction (specifically an acid-base reaction). It has a pH range of 8.3 to 10.0 which means it can be used for a strong acid to strong base titration or a weak base to strong acid titration. Phenolphthalein is clear when it is in the presence of acid and pink when it is in the presence of a base.
Where is the buffer region in a titration curve for the titration of a weak acid with a strong base?
It is the nearly horizontal region before the equivalence point.
Why titrations of weak acids and weak bases are not done?
It is difficult to determine the end point of such a titration, because the titration produces a buffer solution that changes its pH very slowly at the end point, in contrast to reaction between a strong acid and strong base.
Indicators used in acid base titration?
It depends on the acid or base used. For strong acid vs. strong base, phenolphthalein can be used as indicator. For strong acid vs. weak base, methyl orange can be used as indicator. For weak acid vs. strong base, phenolphthalein can be used as indicator.
