'''Methyl orange''' is a ] frequently used in ] because of its clear and distinct color variance at different pH values. Methyl orange shows red color in acidic medium and yellow color in basic medium. Because it changes color at the p''K''<sub>a</sub> of a mid strength acid, it is usually used in titration of strong acids in weak bases that reach the equivalence point at a pH of 3.1-4.4.<ref name="A/B Indicators">{{cite web |last1=Clark |first1=J |title=Acid Base Indicators |url=https://www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/acidbaseeqia/indicators.html. |website=ChemGuide |access-date=November 12, 2022}}</ref> Unlike a ], methyl orange does not have a full spectrum of color change, but it has a sharp end point. In a solution becoming less acidic, methyl orange changes from red to orange and, finally, to yellow—with the reverse process occurring in a solution of increasing acidity.
'''Methyl orange''' is a ] frequently used in ].


== Indicator colors ==
It is often used in titrations because of its clear colour change. Because it changes colour at the pH of a mid-strength acid, it is usually used in titrations for acids. Unlike a ], methyl orange does not have a full spectrum of colour change, but has a sharper end point.
]
In a solution that decreases in acidity, methyl orange moves from the color red to orange and finally to yellow with the opposite occurring for a solution increasing in acidity. This color change from yellow to red occurs because the protons in the acidic solution react with the N=N bond of the molecule, protonating one of them and changing the visible light absorption of the molecule to reflect more red light than orange/yellow.

==UV-vis spectrum==

The absorption of methyl orange on the ] is between 350-550 nm, with its peak at 464 nm. This is in the green-purple visible light range and explains why methyl orange is, in fact, orange.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Ayed |first1=Lamia |last2=Khelifi |first2=Eltaief |last3=Jannet |first3=Hichem Ben |last4=Miladi |first4=Hanene |last5=Cheref |first5=Abdelkarim |last6=Achour |first6=Sami |last7=Bakhrouf |first7=Amina |date=2010-11-15 |title=Response surface methodology for decolorization of azo dye Methyl Orange by bacterial consortium: Produced enzymes and metabolites characterization |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S138589471000848X |journal=Chemical Engineering Journal |language=en |volume=165 |issue=1 |pages=200–208 |doi=10.1016/j.cej.2010.09.018 |issn=1385-8947}}</ref>








In a solution becoming less acidic, methyl orange moves from red to orange and finally to yellow with the reverse occurring for a solution increasing in acidity. The entire colour change occurs in acidic conditions.

In an acid it is reddish and in alkali it is yellow. Methyl orange has a pKa of 3.47 in water at 25 degrees Celsius.<ref>{{cite journal | doi = 10.1021/j100670a024 | title = Kinetics of acid dissociation-ion recombination of aqueous methyl orange | year = 1972 | last1 = Sandberg | first1 = Richard G. | last2 = Henderson | first2 = Gary H. | last3 = White | first3 = Robert D. | last4 = Eyring | first4 = Edward M. | journal = The Journal of Physical Chemistry | volume = 76 | issue = 26 | pages = 4023–4025}}</ref>
