Description
A pale, orange powder used as an acid-base
indicator. Methyl orange is an azo dye that was discovered by several workers near the same time period: P. Griess in 1875; O.N. Witt in 1876; and Z. Roussin in 1876. As an indicator, methyl orange forms a red color below pH 3.1, turns orange above pH 4.4 and becomes yellow in alkaline solutions. It is used for titrating
mineral acids. Methyl orange is also used for dyeing
textiles.
