Water is made of tiny molecules of hydrogen and oxygen. Water
is essential for all living creature. Pure water has no colour, tase
and any smell. Water exists in three forms on earth liquid, solid
and gas. Human Body is made of about 60% of water and about
71% of the earth surface is covered with water.
Blue litmus paper turns red in vinegar solution because vinegar is acidic and pH below 7. The acidic solution causes the blue litmus paper to undergo a color change and turn red.
Sodium chloride water solution is neutral.
It turns blue.
Red litmus turn to blue in basic solutions.
Litmus paper turns blue in basic solution.
When red litmus paper is added to soap solution, it will turn blue. This indicates that the soap solution is alkaline in nature, as alkaline substances turn red litmus blue. This is because soap solutions typically have a pH above 7.
When a blue litmus paper is dipped in an acid, the paper will turn red. This color change indicates that the solution is acidic.
Blue litmus paper turns red when placed in bases. This is due to the presence of hydroxide ions in bases which react with the blue litmus paper, causing it to change color.
Dip the litmus paper into the solution you are testing. Hold it up in the air, holding the dry bit. Look at the bit you dipped. If the solution was an acid, red litmus will stay red, blue litmus will turn red. If the solution was an alkali, red litmus will turn blue, blue litmus will stay red. If the solution was neutral, red litmus will stay red, blue litmus will stay blue.
Ammonia is a base, and will turn red litmus blue.
Litmus paper is basically used to test nature of solution i.e acid or alkaline. For acid blue litmus turns to red. But for alkaline red litmus turns to blue color.
If you mix litmus solution with an alkali, the litmus solution will turn blue. Litmus is a pH indicator that turns red in acidic solutions and blue in alkaline solutions.
