What indicator would you suggest to be used in a titration reaction involving the following acids and bases? What would be a suitable indicator to use if solutions of the following acids were titrated against one another?

Here are the suitable indicators for each titration:
Checkpoint 13:
To determine a suitable indicator, we need to identify the type of acid and base (strong or weak) to predict the pH at the equivalence point.
-
(strong acid) and (weak base): The equivalence point will be acidic (pH < 7). A suitable indicator is methyl orange.
-
(weak acid) and (weak base): Titrations between a weak acid and a weak base generally do not have a sharp pH change at the equivalence point, making it difficult to find a suitable visual indicator. Therefore, no suitable indicator for visual titration.
-
(weak acid) and (strong base): The equivalence point will be basic (pH > 7). A suitable indicator is phenolphthalein.
-
(strong acid) and (strong base): The equivalence point will be neutral (pH = 7). A suitable indicator is phenolphthalein (or methyl orange, or bromothymol blue).
.7:
-
(strong acid) and (strong base): The equivalence point will be neutral (pH = 7). A suitable indicator is phenolphthalein.
-
(weak acid) and (strong base): The equivalence point will be basic (pH > 7). A suitable indicator is phenolphthalein.
-
(strong acid) and (weak base): The equivalence point will be acidic (pH < 7). A suitable indicator is methyl orange.
-
(weak acid) and (strong base): The equivalence point will be basic (pH > 7). A suitable indicator is phenolphthalein.
