Question

Methyl orange turns $\mathrm{HCl}$ from orange to

• A. Pink
• B. Yellow
• C. Green
• D. Blue

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Pink

1. Methyl orange is an indicator used for titration reactions.
2. In the acidic medium, it shows a red colour and in the basic medium, it shows yellow colour.
3. Methyl orange turns red in acidic solution but here, the solution of $\mathrm{HCl}$ is very diluted and very diluted red appears as the pink colour.

Therefore, methyl orange turns $\mathrm{HCl}$ from orange to pink. So, the correct option is A.
