Methyl red is an azo dye and a pH indicator that appears as a red crystalline powder. The chemical formula of it is C15H15N3O2. It is soluble in water, and when dissolved, it forms a solution used for various analytical purposes. A 1.0% methyl red solution consists of 1 gram of methyl red dissolved in 100 milliliters of solvent, typically water or ethanol. This higher concentration provides a more intense color, useful in applications requiring greater visibility or larger volumes. Methyl red changes color from red in acidic solutions (pH < 4.4) to yellow in neutral to basic solutions (pH > 6.2). It is used as an essential reagent in various scientific and industrial applications.
