Question

what is methyl orange?

Answer 1

methyl orange is an indicator which gives pink in acid and yellow in base

Answer 2

Answer:

Methyl orange is a pH indicator frequently used in titration because of its clear and distinct colour variance at different pH values. Methyl orange shows red colour in the acidic medium and yellow colour in the basic medium. Because it changes colour at the pKa of a mid strength acid, it is usually used in titration for acids. Unlike a universal indicator, methyl orange does not have a full spectrum of colour change, but it has a sharp end point. In a solution becoming less acidic, methyl orange changes from red to orange and, finally, to yellow—with the reverse process occurring in a solution of increasing acidity.
