Description

Methyl orange is a widely used synthetic pH indicator, especially effective for identifying acidic and basic conditions in laboratory settings. Known for its sharp and distinct color changes, it plays a crucial role in acid-base titrations.

 The formula is C₁₄H₁₄N₃NaO₃S, and its pH range lies between 3.1 and 4.4—making it particularly suitable for detecting the endpoint in strong acid–weak base titrations.

Properties of Methyl Orange

• In acidic solutions, it gives a red color.

• In neutral to mildly basic solutions, it appears orange.

• In alkaline conditions, it turns yellow.

This clear and consistent transition in color helps users accurately determine the pH level of a solution. Whether you’re working in an academic lab or a professional chemical analysis environment, Methyl Orange offers precision and simplicity.
