Why do you test with litmus paper?
The main use of litmus is to test whether a solution is acidic or alkaline. Wet litmus paper can also be used to test water-soluble gases; the gas dissolves in the water and the resulting solution colors the litmus paper. For instance, ammonia gas, which is alkaline, colors the red litmus paper blue. Chemical reactions other than acid-base reaction can also cause a color-change to litmus paper. For instance, chlorine gas turns blue litmus paper white - the litmus paper is bleached.[5] This reaction is irreversible and therefore the litmus is not acting as an indicator in this situation
Which litmus paper do you use to identify an acid and how does it react?
Online science class does not mean you can just google for answers. Read your textbook!
What is an example of litmus paper?
Litmus paper is a type of pH indicator used to test the acidity or basicity of a solution. It comes in two colors: red and blue. Red litmus paper turns blue in alkaline (basic) solutions, while blue litmus paper turns red in acidic solutions. An example of its use is testing the pH of vinegar, which would turn blue litmus paper red due to its acidity.
What color litmus paper is used to test acids?
Red litmus paper is used to test for acids. If the red litmus paper turns blue when dipped in a substance, it indicates the presence of an acid.
