Suppose phenolthalein was added to NaOH and was titrated with a sample of CH3COOH.
Is it true that when titrating a weak acid and a weak base, the color of the phenolthalein indicator may change to clear ( indicating that the solution has become acidic and the titration is finished) and after a while the indicator may change BACK to pink again??

True

False??
If so can you explain why??

Thankyou!!!

I’m not sure ıt’s like so but I saw this occurrence in lab.
