    Question

    A substance X turns the colour of red litmus blue, and it will change methyl orange-

    A.

    Yellow

    B.

    Colourless

    C.

    Red

    D.

    Pink

    Correct option is A


    The correct answer is (a) Yellow.
    · A substance that turns red litmus paper blue is a base.
    · Methyl orange is an indicator that changes color based on the pH of the solution it is in.
    · In acidic conditions, methyl orange turns red, while in basic conditions, it turns yellow.
    · Since substance X is a base (it turns red litmus blue), it will turn methyl orange to yellow.
    Information Booster:
    · Colourless: Methyl orange does not turn colorless in either acidic or basic conditions.
    · Red: Methyl orange turns red in acidic conditions, not in basic.
    · Pink: Methyl orange does not turn pink; phenolphthalein, another indicator, turns pink in basic conditions.
