Phenolphthalein is not a good indicator to use for a titration for a solution that has a ph of 6.0 at the equivalence point because the color change of the solution at this pH level is not sharp. It changes the color of the solution to pink starting from pH 8.3 to 10. A pH level lower than 8.3 would only show a colorless solution. Thus, you would not be able to distinguish whether the solution has reached its equivalence point at pH 6.0. It is best to use this indicator for a system that is using a strong base titrated with a weak acid.
