the actual answer is that litmus is an example of an indicator because... if for example you dip a blue litmus paper into lime juice (an acid) the litmus paper will turn red because it indicates that its an acid or......... if you dip a red litmus paper into a base it will turn blue because it indicates that it is a base..... so the answer is because it indicates if its an acid or base
p.s. if the blue paper turned red---- indicates its a base
if the red paper turned blue ----- indicates its a acid or the other way around forgot... :/
hopes this helped........ :)))))))))))
These are examples of acid/base indicators.
is reaction to litmus paper a example of extensive property?
Indicators. They are chemical substances which indicates the acidity or basic condition of liquids by changing color.
An indicator.
Litmus paper or phenolphthalein.
There are various ways to test for an acid and an alkali. For acidic solution: Litmus paper/ litmus solution --> red Phenolphthalein --> colorless Methyl orange --> pink Universal Indicator (changes color according to the strength of acid) --> red to yellow. For alkaline solutions: Litmus paper/ litmus solution --> blue Phenolphthalein --> pink Methyl orange --> yellow Universal Indicator --> blue green to purple
You can use litmus paper to check whether a liquid is an acid or base Methyl orange, turmeric paper, beetroot juice, phenolphthalein can also be used
Red Cabbage Juice can be used as an easy natural indicator. Bromothymol Blue is a common chemical pH indicator
Indicators can be used to determine if a substance is a acid or a base because of the reaction that occurs between the substance and the indicator. This creates a color change in the indicator (depending on which indicator you use). If it is a universal indicator, the substance may change from deep red to violet. If it is a litmus indicator, it will only turn either red or blue.
Litmus paper or phenolphthalein.
There is no change in litmus paper, phenophthalein turns yellow, and congo red changes to orange..
by using phenolphthalein,litmus paper (red and blue),cabbage,tea,and PH paper or PH meter
Red litmus paper and blue litmus paper. Blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid and red litmus paper turns blue in the presence of an alkali.
All acidic solutions are colourless in phenolphthalein, pink in methyl orange solution and turns blue litmus paper into red.
The litmus paper turns Orange. Because it has a pH of 4 so it's orange. :)

I dont know google it
The examples of an indicator are-litmus paper, methyl orange, phenolpthalin etc.

Phenolphthalein Litmus Red Litmus Blue Universal Indicator -> Most Common Methyl Orange :)
