In summary, the order of reaction for Phenolphthalein is first order and can be determined by plotting the concentration of the reactant against time. It can change depending on reaction conditions and knowing it is significant in understanding the rate of consumption and product concentration. However, limitations may arise if the reaction is complex or involves multiple steps.

What reaction? Combustion? One of the four acid/base equilibria? Or some fancy organic modification?

Not that I will be able to answer, but at the moment even someone with PhDenoloftalein degree won't help.

I should have specified, but the phenolphthalein was mixed with OH-, that still might not be enough information needed.

I think you need to have 2 of the following to be able to find order of reaction.

Reaction Rate, Time and Concentration.
