General Description
Methyl red sodium salt is the sodium salt of methyl red synthetic dye, which belongs to the azo group of dyes.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Methyl Red is a pH indicator and it changes color at a pH of 5.5.
Purification Methods
It can be precipitated from aqueous solution as the free acid which is recrystallised from 95% EtOH, then reconverted to the sodium salt. In H2O it is pink at pH 4.2 and yellow at pH 6.2 and has at 437nm.
