Understand the Problem

The question is asking about an acid-base titration curve, specifically what type of titration it represents, the pH at the endpoint, and which indicator would be most suitable based on given pKa values.

Answer

Weak acid-strong base titration; pH ~9; Phenolphthalein.

The titration curve represents a weak acid with a strong base titration. The pH at the endpoint is above 7, likely around 9. Phenolphthalein is the most suitable indicator.

Answer for screen readers

The titration curve represents a weak acid with a strong base titration. The pH at the endpoint is above 7, likely around 9. Phenolphthalein is the most suitable indicator.

More Information

In a weak acid-strong base titration, the equivalence point is often above pH 7 due to the formation of a basic salt. Phenolphthalein, changing color in the pH range of 8 to 10, is appropriate.

Tips

A common mistake is choosing an indicator without considering the pH range in relation to the equivalence point.
