Question

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

Answer 1

The answer is red.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Methyl orange is an organic dye that used as an indicator in acid-base titrations because its color is changed according to pH of the medium (acidic, neutral or basic).
2. 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.
