All alcohols can show either acidic or basic properties. Methyl alcohol is generally a slightly weaker acid and is able to react with strong bases or reactive metals.

What is a substance that changes color when mixed with an acid or base?

acid base indicator or pH indicatorSome examples of acid base indicators are: gentian violet, malachite green, thymol blue, methyl yellow, bromophenol blue, congo red, methyl orange, screened methyl orange, bromocresol green, methyl red, methyl purple, phenolphthalein, indigo carmine, hydrangea flowers, anthocyanin, litmus, red cabbage, and purple cauliflower.


What base is methyl indicator?

acid-base


When you add an acid to an alkali it changes to a neutral which colour change would this show with an indicator?

It depends on the indicator and there are quite a few. Methyl Red, Methyl orange and Phenolphthalein are 3 such acid-base indicators. If phenolphthalein is used as the indicator and added to the base it would immediately turn red/pink. As acid is titrated in, the red/pink will disappear and go colorless.


What are some other ways that acid base titrations are used?

Acid-base titrations are usually conducted with an indicator. Indicators are used to measure the end point precisely. Some of common indicators are methyl red, methyl orange and bromothymol blue.


What is the Chemical name for an acid base indicator?

there are many types of acid base indicators - see chart at http://chemistry.about.com/library/weekly/aa112201a.htm Common indicators: Methyl orange - acid=red, base=orange Bromcresol green - acid=yellow, base=blue Bromphenol blue - acid=yellow, base=blue Phenolphthalein - acid=colorless, base=red it is also easy to use litmus paper - acid=red, base=blue


What are some indicators of acids?

Methyl Red, methyl orange, bromophenol blue, phenolphthalein, thymolphthalein, bromocresol green, bromothymol blue are all used as acid base indicators.


How can I distinguish between bases and acids by methods other than using litmus paper?

there are other indicators that can be used - universal Acid-red Base-Blue Neutral-green methyl orange Acid - red Base - yellow


What is the color of the end point for the titration of the acid?

A general acid-base titration may not indicate a color change. Therefore an indicator is used. Among the most used indicators are methyl red, methyl orange and bromothymol blue.


How does methyl orange react with an acid?

It turns red.


What colour is methyl orange in ch3ooh?

The color of methyl orange is red. The color is red when the acetic acid is below pH 3.1.


Can you use indicator other than phenolphthalein in the titration of NaOH?

Yes you can use methyl red, methyl orange, bromophenol blue and other indicators instead of phenolphthalein in the acid-base titration of NaOH.


Can you use methyl orange and phenolphthalein fro weak acid weak base titrations?

first of all remember that titr'n b/w weak acid and weak base is impossible. weak acid*strong base-phenolphthalein str acid*weak base-methyl orange if both are strong can use both.
