Question

Baking soda solution turns yellow when methyl orange indicator is added to it. Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because baking soda is basic in nature and methyl orange turns yellow on contact with base

Answer 2

Explanation:

Methyl orange turns red in the acidic solution and yellow in basic solution. Hence, to convert it to the yellow colour, the student needs to add an excess of the basic solution as sodium hydroxide is a strong base, it can change the colour of the solution to yellow.
