What if the blue litmus paper remains blue?
If the red litmus paper stays red, then the object tested may be either an acid or a neutral substance. The substance must be tested on blue litmus paper. if the blue paper stays blue, then it is neutral. If it turns red, then it is an acid.
What is the action of sulphuric acid on red litmus?
Blue litmus is used to test acidic solutions.
What colors do litmus paper and phenolpthalein turn in presence of an acid or of base?
Litmus paper: red color in acidic solutions and blue color in basic solutions.Phenolphthalein: no color in acidic solutions.
