Which litmus paper do you use to identify an acid and how does it react?

Answer 1

Online science class does not mean you can just Google for answers. Read your textbook!

Answer 2

Depends on the paper. All litmus paper is designed to work on different pH ranges. however, most liquid acids used turn blue litmus paper pink. Acid won't affect red litmus. Bases, however, turn red litmus paper blue, and does not affect blue litmus.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Litmus paper has different colors in solutions:
- in acids is red
- in bases is blue


If blue litmus paper turns red with a solution , it is acidic in nature.

However, base turns red litmus blue.

Answer 5

Litmus paper has different colors in solutions:
- in acids is red
- in bases is blue

Answer 6

Litmus: acid > RED alkaline > PURPLE

Answer 7

litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid and blue in the presence of a base.

Answer 8

Blue litmus paper is used to identify an acid. It will turn red in an acid.

Answer 9

Litmus paper turns red in acidic conditions pH 0-6.9.

Litmus paper turns blue in alkaline conditions pH 7.1 - 14.

Answer 10

If blue litmus paper turns red with a solution , it is acidic in nature.

However, base turns red litmus blue.
