    Answer: The substance would be a strong acid.

    Explanation:

    Methyl orange turns orange when it is added to a medium acid and turns red when it is added to a strong acid. The pH of the acid would be above 4 because it is a strong acid. Methyl orange turns yellow when it is added to a medium base.
