If the equivalence point of a titration is 5 what range of pH should the indicator be?

The indicator should change color right at the equivalence point, so 5.


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 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 happens if phenolphthalein was added to salts?

If phenolphthalein is added to a solution of salts, it will not undergo any specific reaction. Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator in acid-base titrations, where it changes color depending on the pH of the solution. Since salts do not have acidic or basic properties, phenolphthalein will not exhibit any color change.


Why should the endpoint be taken as the faint pink color of the indicator?

When using an indicator in a titration, the color changes happen when the titrant has reacted with all the substance of interest in the sample. As soon as the titrant isn't reacting with the sample any more, it starts reacting with the indicator, and continuing past the first hint of color will be using too much titrant, and the calculations for the concentration of the sample will be wrong. Phenolphthalein starts out pink, but will turn red as the pH keeps changing as you go further past the endpoint of the titration.

In a titration when does the indicator change color?

when the equivalence point of a titration is achieved.. Added: (More precisely:) The equivalence point is the point where the number of moles of base equal the number of moles of acid. The end point is the point where the indicator being used changes color (also 'indication point)'. If the indicator is chosen correctly, the end point will essentially be exactly as near as possible at the equivalence point. The point of the titration is to find the equivalence point -- the end point is just a very close approximation to it. This is because the pH of the solution changes very rapidly close to the equivalence point. Therefore, the indicator will change color very close to the equivalence point because of the steepness of the pH change


Detect equivalence point in titration without an indicator?

Titration without indicator is only possible with another measurement:Examples / possibilities:pH-electrode measurement (acid-base titration)Conductivity measurement (acid-base titration or ion-reaction)Change of color by excess or depletion of the reactant/titrant (redox titration)Precipitation by excess or depletion of the reactant/titrantAdded:(The following was more or less written for 'indicator' titrations, but same principles count for other 'sharply' changing properties):The equivalence point is the point where the number of moles of titrant equal the number of moles of the reactant. The end point is the point where the indicator being used changes color (also 'indication point)'.If the indicator is chosen correctly, the end point will essentially be as near as possible at the equivalence point.The point of the titration is to find the equivalence point -- the end point is just a very close approximation to it.
