3.1 to 4.4 depending on the concentration of the acid.
IN ACID: it turns methyl orange pink In base: it turns methyl orange yellow
The color of methyl orange is red. The color is red when the acetic acid is below pH 3.1.
a strong acid is about 1 or 2 possibly in a pH scale and it turns many pH indicators (such as thymol blue, orange IV, methyl orange, methyl red and litmus paper) red.
Methyl orange is an acid/base indicator changing from orange-yellow to red when pH lowers from 4.4 to 3.1, thus indicating the endpoint (pH ~ 4) of the 'bicarbonate (HCO3-) to carbonic acid (H2CO3)'-titration with dilute strong acid (HCl).
Methyl orange is red under a pH=3,1 and yellow over a pH=4,4; methyl orange is useful for the titrimetric determination of acids concentration.
Methyl orange is a pH indicator having the chemical formula C14H14N3NaO3S.
Methyl red turns red in acidic solutions (under pH 4.4), yellow in alkaline solutions (pH over 6.2),and is orange in between.
Since the titration is between a strong acid and a weak base, methylorange should be suitable as the equivalence point is around pH 5. The K of the indicator should be equal to the pH at the end point. Methyl orange is that indicator
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.
The correct formula of methyl orange is,C14H14N3NaO3S. Methyl Orange measures from a pH of 3.1(color red) to 4.4(color yellow)
Methyl orange and methyl red both shows red color in a HCl solution where pH is lesser than 4.71.
Basic materials and any weak acid solution with pH above 4 turn Methyl Orange into orange-yellow
