Both blue and red litmus papers are used to test the pH of a solution. They both change color in response to acidic or basic conditions - blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid, while red litmus paper turns blue in the presence of a base.
Test each unknown solution with both red and blue litmus papers. If red litmus turns blue, the solution is basic. If blue litmus turns red, the solution is acidic. If both red and blue litmus papers remain the same, the solution is neutral.
Acid turns it in red, while base will turn it blue.
yes a blue litmus paper turns red when put into an acid
If a substance changes the color of a blue litmus paper to red, it is acidic blue to red
blue litmus paper turns to red when its in contact with acid
Test each unknown solution with both red and blue litmus papers. If red litmus turns blue, the solution is basic. If blue litmus turns red, the solution is acidic. If both red and blue litmus papers remain the same, the solution is neutral.
Acid turns it in red, while base will turn it blue.
Red litmus paper turns blue in basic solutions, while blue litmus paper turns red in acidic solutions. By using both types of litmus paper, you can determine if a solution is acidic if blue litmus turns red or basic if red litmus turns blue. This allows for a more accurate determination of the pH of a solution.
Because if you only use red litmus paper and the solution you tested kept the paper red, you would think that the solution would also make the blue litmus paper turn red too. But what if the solution was neutral? Then the blue litmus paper would stayblue instead of turn red. Thats why you need to use both blue and red litmus paper.
Acid turns blue litmus red and maintains red litmus at the same color.

Acids turns Blue litmus to Red. Bases turns Red litmus to 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.
If a substance changes the color of a blue litmus paper to red, it is acidic blue to red

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.
litmus paper turns blue litmus red when tested on an acid and red litmus blue when tested on a base
