Question

A student performing the experiment "Titration of Acetic Acid in Vinegar" got mixed up where to put the solutions. He put the vinegar in the titrator, and the measured amount of NaOH solution in the beaker. He added the phenolphthalein in the beaker containing the NaOH. If he runs the titration with this set-up, what do you expect to happen to his experiment? 
The solution in the beaker will initially be colorless, and the color changes from colorless to pink at the equivalence point. 
The experiment will not work because it is not possible to predict the color change at the equivalence point. 
The experiment will not work because there will be no color change at the equivalence point. The solution in the beaker will initially be pink, and the color changes from pink to colorless at the equivalence point.
