No, it can only show whether the pH is above 7, exactly 7, or below 7

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNo. This is because the litmus paper usually turns only 2 different colors and that is not accurate enough to give you an exact pH of a substance
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo... Because litmus paper remains blue in alkaline solutions and turns red in acidic solutions.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes. You can test whether any liquid is basic or acidic with the paper.

Why amines give litmus paper test?
to test the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
What is the purpose of the litmus paper test?
Litmus paper test is done to check the pH value of a solution. pH is a measure of acidity and or alkalinity of a solution.
How does litmus paper react when exposed to vinegar?
Litmus is used to test materials for their acidity. Blue litmus paper turns red when exposed to acid, so it would turn red when exposed to vinegar, which is acidic.
What blue litmus paper mean?
it's a tester which turns red in contact with acids
Why do you test with litmus paper?
The main use of litmus is to test whether a solution is acidic or alkaline. Wet litmus paper can also be used to test water-soluble gases; the gas dissolves in the water and the resulting solution colors the litmus paper. For instance, ammonia gas, which is alkaline, colors the red litmus paper blue. Chemical reactions other than acid-base reaction can also cause a color-change to litmus paper. For instance, chlorine gas turns blue litmus paper white - the litmus paper is bleached.[5] This reaction is irreversible and therefore the litmus is not acting as an indicator in this situation

What color litmus paper measures acidity?
You use the blue litmus to to test an acid other wise no result of testing an acid
What measures the acidity of water in a river or lake?
There are multiple ways to measure the acidity of water in a river or lake. One way is to use litmus paper. You buy it in a cylindrical tube. You did one end of the litmus paper into the solution you're testing. The litmus paper will change color, and then you match the color of the litmus paper with the color on the pH scale on the tube. Be careful, though, if the solution you're testing is a strong acid or base, the litmus paper can spontaneously catch fire when it dries! Another way to test the acidity of river or lake water is to use a pH electrode. These can be picked up at hardware stores, but usually cost about 100 bucks.
How does litmus paper react when exposed to vinegar?

How does litmus paper works?
If Red Litmus Paper Turns Blue, It's A Base. If Blue Litmus Paper Turns Red, It's An Acid.
Where can you buy litmus paper?
Litmus paper is used to test how acidic or basic a material is. Because gardeners often want to test the acidity of their soil, you can buy litmus paper in many gardening shops. Of course, it is also available in places that sell science supplies, and readily available from vendors on the internet.
What is a correct method used in a scientific experiment involving acid and base solutions?
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.
