Question:

Thymol blue in its acid range is not a suitable indicator for the titration of HCl by NaOH. Suppose that a student uses thymol blue by mistake in the titration of Figure 17-8 and that the indicator end point is taken to be pH = 2.0.

(a) Would there be a sharp color change, produced by the addition of a single drop of NaOH(aq)?

(b) Approximately what percent of the HCl remains unneutralized at pH = 2.0?
