Please help with chemistry question!!!

I'm guessing that Acid P and base X is A because the acid is strong (Low pH) and the base is strong (High pH) so the pHs of the acid and base must be the range stated in the question meaning both indicators give a precise end point (of the titration).

Then Acid Q (weak, neutral pH) and base X (strong, high pH) is C because the phenolphthalein gives an endpoint of the titration because the base is in the pH range stated in the question but the weak Acid is not within the pH range of methyl orange so it does not give a precise endpoint.

Then Acid Q (weak, neutral pH) and base Y (weak, neutral pH) is D because the more neutral pHs of these substances means they are out of the ranges of the testers stated in the question so will not give a precise end point.

(Sorry if any of this is wrong I'm only at GCSE level but got an A* in my chemistry GCSE last year - doing triple)

The part I get confused with is that I was told that a strong Base pH is equal or above 11 and and strong acid pH is equal to or below 3.

But according to the answers, they suggest that a strong acid has a pH above 3 and a strong base has a pH of below 10. This goes against what I've been taught. Is my book wrong or am I misunderstanding something?

Sorry, my explanation might be confusing, because the pH of the strong acid is outside that range it gives a precise end point, and opposite for bases (above 10 = precise end point and strong base)
think I got confused with that point!

No I don't understand. Here's how I am thinking, let's use (iii) as an example. Let's say acid Q has a pH of 4 and base Y has a pH of 9. Because these pHs are already in the range of both indicators therefore both indicators will change colour as soon as they're put in the solution. They change colour before the two solutions are even mixed? Is this right?

The right answer but the wrong logic, because you haven't studied pH curves yet.

Sorry about this (I'm only at GCSE level, but wanted to test myself as well by helping) Cave Felem should hopefully make sense to you!

Thank you both for your help !

That's ok😉, sorry about any confusion I gave you 😥

No need to apologise, you've actually helped me alot more than my class mates! Keep helping others, you're good at it!

Can someone please explain why the answers to these questions are A, C and D
