What indicator would be used if we were titrating with HCl in the buret and NaOH in the flask since phenolphthalein is not appropriate?
Answered by DrBob222
In most cases of strong acid-strong base titrations phenolphthalein is appropriate so to answer this question best I would need to know the concentrations being titratrated. Bromothymol blue might be good. Phenol red might be good. You want an indicator that will change pH at 7.
