Methyl orange, HMO, is a common acid-base indicator. In solution it ionizes according to the equation: HMOaqH+aq+MO-aqredyellow If methyl orange is added to distilled water, the solution turns yellow. If 1 drop or two of 6 M HCl 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. a. Why does adding 6 M HCl to the yellow solution of methyl orange tend to cause the color to change to red? Note that in solution HCl exists as H+ and Cl- ions. b. Why does adding 6 M NaOH to the red solution tend to make it turn back to yellow? Note that in solution NaOH exists as Na+ and OH- ions. How does increasing OH- shift Reaction 3 in the discussion section? How would the resulting change in H+ affect the dissociation reaction of HMO?
