just saying that I'm 12 and i know the answer!an acid will turn red in litmus paper or a pinkcolour.if it is a week acid it will turn yellow or green. :)
The old and faithful litmus paper test could be used. Acid turns blue litmus paper red and a base would turn red litmus paper blue. An easy way of making litmus paper is to get a strip of red cardboard paper and wet it with saliva. under normal circumstances,should turn blue since salivary juices are alkaline. After, you can test with your water sample to verify acidity or basicity.
it is base
the color of the litmus paper does not change.
Lemon juice contains citric acid so blue litmus paper dipped in lemon juice will turn red indicating that it is acidic.Blue litmus paper become red in acidic solutions (lemon juice contain citric acid).
No, a base turns blue litmus paper red. Litmus paper is red in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions.
A base will turn red litmus paper blue.
Red litmus paper remains red when dipped into an acid. Blue litmus paper will turn red in an acid. Similarly, Blue litmus remains blue in a base. Red litmus turns blue in a base.
red litmus paper turns blue in a base -jess
If you are using red litmus paper, a base will turn the litmus paper blue.
Red litmus paper will turn blue in the presence of a base. Toothpaste is a base, so the litmus paper would turn blue.
Yes, blue litmus paper turns red in an acid and red litmus paper turns blue in a base under most circumstances.
Acids turn blue litmus to red. Bases turn red litmus blue.
Litmus paper is an indicator that turns red in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions. The chemical equation for litmus paper reacting with an acid could be: H+ (from the acid) + Litmus paper (Red) -> Litmus paper (Blue). Similarly, the equation for litmus paper reacting with a base could be: OH- (from the base) + Litmus paper (Red) -> Litmus paper (Blue).
When litmus paper touches an acid, the paper changes to red. When it touches a base, the paper changes to blue. By comparing the color the litmus paper changed to by a chart, you could determine how strong or weak that acid or base is.
litmus paper turns blue litmus red when tested on an acid and red litmus blue when tested on a base
