In a titration, a student placed a dilute acid in a conical flask.
By mistake, a few drops of phenolphthalein and a few drops of litmus indicator were both added to the flask.
The student then added an alkali from a burette until the solution in the flask was alkaline.
Predict the colour change that would be observed in the flask.
