hi...
phenolphthalein is not a suitable indicator in the titration of strong acid and weak base
because phenolpthalein changes its colour between pH 8.1-10, and for titration of strong acid and weak base pH is slightly less than 7, so it does not show any change in colour, hence it is not suitable indicator for strong acid – weak base titration.
