Question
Methyl orange, HMO, is a common acid-base indicator. In solution it ionizes
according to the equation:
HMO(aq) → H(aq) + MO (aq)
yellow
red
If methyl orange is added to distilled water, the solution turns yellow. If a drop or two
of 6 M HCI is added to the yellow solution, it turns red. If to that solution one adds a
few drops of 6 M NaOH the color reverts to yellow.
Transcribed Image Text:Methyl orange, HMO, is a common acid-base indicator.

If a drop or two of 6 M HCI is added to the yellow solution, it turns red. If to that solution one adds a few drops of 6 M NaOH the color reverts to yellow.
Why does adding 6 M HCI to the yellow solution of methyl orange tend to cause the color to
change to red?
OHCI dissociates into H* and Cl ions. This leads to an increase in [H*], resulting in a shift to the left to form
HMO.
OHCI dissociates into H* and Cl ions. This leads to an increase in [CI], resulting in separate reaction that can
form HMO.
OHCI reacts with water in the aqueous solution to form HMO.
O None of these.
