Question

What color would the methyl orange indicator turn in a solution with a pH of 2?

Red

Yellow

Pink

Orange

Answer 1

Red.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Methyl orange is an organic dye that used as an indicator in acid-base titrations because its color is changed according to the pH of the medium (acidic, neutral or basic).

• Methyl orange is red in acidic solutions, orange in neutral solutions, and yellow in basic solutions.

Since, pH of the solution is 2, the solution is acidic, the color of the solution will be red.
