How do you test the acidity of a gas by putting litmus paper in a gas?

Very, very, very carefully...
Battery acid is normally highly concentrated sulfuric acid, which is one of the strongest acids known to man. it can literally melt your hand off. Litmus paper could possibly dissolve in it, so it is kind of ineffectual at being used in a test. However, if a dilute sample was tested, you would find it is (or should be) acidic; red paper stays red, blue paper changes.

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.
