Induction can result in tolerance to drugs, if the metabolism of the drugs results in a product with lower (or no) pharmacologic activity. This is why, for example, patients can develop tolerance to Phen ...

When conducting a titration of an acid analyte with a base titrant using phenolphthalein as the indicator, the pH will be low at the beginning, so the phenolphthalein will be mostly in the un-ionized or “protonated” “acid” form (we’ll refer to as HIn).
