Explanation / Answer

1.

An acid-base indicator is a dye that changes colour when pH changes.

An appropriate indicator for an acid-base titration will change colour at the same pH as the equivalence point of the acid-base reaction.

That is, the endpoint of the titration as indicated by the indicator must be the same as the equivalence point of the acid-base reaction.

For pH range 5.2-6.8 Bromocresol purple indicator used.And 8.3-10 Phenolphthalein used.

So in this experiment strong acid and weak base is there.So we used Bromocresol purple indicator.

2.

Ksp would be higher than it should be because you're finding that there's more hydroxide in solution
