Methyl red is used as a pH indicator or for the identification of some bacteria.
Methyl Orange is red in an acidic solution.
By titration with alkaline on methyl-red indicator (pH<6)
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.
It depends on what indicator you are using. Yellow with the bromothymol blue indicator is acidic, yellow with the methyl orange indicator is basic, yellow with the phenol red indicator is acidic and yellow with the universal indicator is acidic.
Milk of magnesia is a basic solution. Therefore, methyl orange shows a yellowish orange colour. Further, this indicator shows a red colour in acidic solutions.
Methyl Red
You use methyl red as a ph indicator for for the MRVP test.
Methyl Red Indicator
Methyl red is an adequate indicator.
Methyl Orange is red in an acidic solution.
Methyl is an indicator, when HCl, which is an acid, is added, the solution will turn red.
Phenolphthalein Litmus Red Litmus Blue Universal Indicator -> Most Common Methyl Orange :)
Methyl Orange indicator is made by dissolving .01 g of the powder into 100 ml of DI water. This gives and indicator for a pH range of 3.2-4.4 and goes from Red to Yellow.
By titration with alkaline on methyl-red indicator (pH<6)
It turns the alkali into a red/yellow colour
Methyl red and methyl orange show reddish colors in acidic solutions.
