Methyl Orange Disodium Salt Extra Pure

Whatsapp Order

Methyl Orange Disodium Salt Extra Pure is a high-purity pH indicator commonly used in titrations and analytical chemistry to determine acidity levels. It exhibits a sharp color change from red in acidic environments to yellow in alkaline conditions, typically within the pH range of 3.1 to 4.4. This disodium salt form ensures excellent solubility in water, making it especially reliable for use in aqueous solutions. Its stability and sensitivity make it ideal for laboratory applications involving strong acid–base reactions, particularly in titrations of mineral acids. Methyl Orange Disodium Salt Extra Pure is a trusted choice for consistent and accurate results in both educational and professional lab settings.

  • Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Storage:

  • Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.

  • Keep the container tightly closed and protected from moisture and light.

  • Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:

  • Move the person to fresh air.

  • Seek medical attention if symptoms such as coughing or difficulty breathing occur.

Skin Contact:

  • Wash with soap and plenty of water.

  • Remove contaminated clothing.

  • Get medical advice if irritation or a rash appears.

Eye Contact:

  • Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.

  • Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.

  • Continue rinsing and seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Ingestion:

  • Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.
