What is the amounts of red and blue litmus when a solution is neutral?
ph 7
A solution with a pH of 10 that turns red litmus blue is?
Acidic is the answer
What colour would litmus be in a solution of ph10?
Blue. Litmus paper turns blue under alkali conditions (pH over 7).
What effect do alkalis hava on litmus solution?
If the solution contains acid, then the alkali turns the litmus to its original colour(blue).The color is effected by the concentration of the acid and the alkali.
What is the function of a red and blue litmus paper?
Litmus paper is used for measuring the pH of a liquid. The pH is a measurment of how acidic/basic a liquid is. Red/Blue litmus paper contains a compound that changes colors at a certain pH. There are a variety of different litmus papers you can buy which each change colors at a specific pH. Generally, red is associated with an acidic solution (pH < 7) and blu with a basic solution (pH > 7). By dipping a litmus paper in a solution and watching for a color change, you can determine if the pH is below/above a certain threshold
What do you observe when you dip blue litmus paper into solution with pH lees than 7?
It turns red as acid changes blue litmus to red.
When testing pH with litmus paper what will turn red litmus paper to blue?
A base.An alkali turns litmus paper blue.The solution is a base.
What happens when red litmus is added to soap solution?
The color change to blue, because a soap solution is a basic solution (pH greater than 7).
When would litmus paper be useful?
It helps in indicating whether a substance is acidic or basic A red litmus paper turns blue in basic solution and turns red in acidic solution A blue litmus paper turns red in acidic solution and turns darker blue in basic solution
What alkali will turn litmus paper into blue?
Every alkali solution above 7 pH at 298 K would turn red litmus into blue.
What is the color of litmus solution?
When litmus paper touches and 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.
If a substance has the pH of 7 it is considered to be basic?
pH 7 is neutrality pH from 1 - 6 is acidic ( red litmus paper() pH from 8 -14 is alkaline. ( blue litmus paper)
