What happens to red litmus paper when a neutral solution is added?
turns blue
How do you find whether a substance is basic or acidic?
take blue litmus paper put it in the solution if it turns red its acidic if it remains blue its either basic or neutral to test if its basic put red litmus paper in the solution if it turns blue then its basic if it remains red then its neutral . it is only applicable in solutions.
Which litmus paper turns blue in acid solution?
Litmus paper is basically used to test nature of solution i.e acid or alkaline. For acid blue litmus turns to red. But for alkaline red litmus turns to blue color.
What colour does blue litmus paper turn when dipped in alkaline?
Blue litmus paper stays blue in a neutral solution. It turns red only when in an acidic solution. Similarly, red litmus paper would stay red in a neutral solution and turn blue in an alkaline solution. Added: acidic: pH below 5.5 it turns (stays) red alkaline: pH above 8.0 it turns (stays) blue neutral, in between 5.5 and 8.0: its color is purple, between 'red and blue' or 'blue and red' A much better indicator paper is universal indicator paper. It is yellow and can tell you the exact pH of the solution it is dipped in, going yellow to red in acidic conditions, blue to purple in alkaline conditions and green in neutral conditions. The exact colour depends on the pH.
