Why a dry blue litmus paper is not affected by hydrogen chloride gas?
AS HCL DONATE ELECTRON IT HAS NO EFFECT ON DRY LITMUS PAPERType your answer here...
Why does dry HCl gas does not change the colour of the dry litmus paper?
Hydrogen chloride gas is not an acid, is not in solution and does not donate protons. So, no litmus paper color change.
What colour does litmus paper turn in sodium chloride acid?
- sodium chloride is not an acid - in an acid solution the blue litmus paper become red
If HCL is in contact with dry blue litmus paper will it change?
No: Hydrogen chloride gas, when dry, is notan acid. Without water it can not donate protons to litmus, so this will not change color.yes because HCL is a very very very strong acid and will turn blue litmus paper red
Why a dry blue litmus paper is not affected by hydrogen chloride gas or hcl acid?
The change of colour is due to chemical reaction. Almost all chemical reactions take place in solution. So dry litmus paper not shown any change in colour with hydrogen chloride gas. The colour changes only when the paper is dipped in water. In other word the paper is wet.Added:To be more precise:Hydrogen chloride gas, when dry, is not an acid. Without water it can not donate protons to litmus, so this will not change color
What color does hydrogen chloride turn damp litmus paper?
turns blue litmus paper red

What happens if red litmus and blue litmus is dipped in sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride water solution is neutral.
Does hydrogen peroxide turns litmus paper blue or red?
hydrogen peroxide turns litmus paper into blue.
What colour does litmus paper turn in sodium chloride acid?
- sodium chloride is not an acid - in an acid solution the blue litmus paper become red

What gas is produced when moist blue litmus turn red?
Hydrogen chloride, HCl gas, making hydrochloric ACID with wet litmus paper.Wet litmus paper can 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, NH3 which is alkaline, colors the litmus paper blue. Acidicgases turn it red.
What color does sodium chloride give on litmus paper?
Sodium chloride solution is neutral.
Which solution will not have any effect on both red litmus paper and blue litmus paper?
a)sulfur dioxide b)hydrogen chloride c)potassium sulfate d)slaked lime
