UV-visible electronic absorption spectra of methyl red aqueous solutions are characterized by the overlap of a principal peak at λ_max ((520±15) nm) with a shoulder peak at λ_max ((435±20) nm), which are assigned to acidic species (HMR) and basic species (MR^-) of methyl red, respectively. In this study, the spectra and the integrated absorbance of the MR^- and HMR peaks (denoted A₁ and A₂, respectively) were interpreted using a new multi-peaks Gaussian fitting method. From the absorbance ratio A₁/A₂ and the concentration ratio c_MR-/c_HMR, the average acid dissociation constant (pK_a) was determined as 4.76 at 298.15 K. The odness is high and the values of R² (degree of fitting) and χ² (chi-square test for odness of fit) were 0.998 and below 10^-5, respectively. The effects of aggregation behavior of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetylammonium bromide (CTAB) on pK_a were also investigated via this method. The multi-peaks Gaussian fitting method was shown to determine pK_a more reliably and simply than traditional spectrophotometric techniques.
