∙ 7y ago
Methanol is a weak acid and may not have a significant effect on red litmus paper, which turns blue in the presence of a base. However, prolonged exposure to methanol vapors or liquid may eventually cause the red litmus paper to turn slightly blue due to the small amount of methanol deprotonating water to form a slightly basic solution.
