Can litmus paper test for ph values?
No, it can only test whether a chemical is acidic, alkaline or neutral. If it's acidic, it will turn the red litmus paper blue. If it's alkaline, it will turn the blue litmus paper red. But beware, when doing experiment, you must use both of the litmus paper at the same time since if a chemical/solution is neutral, both of the paper won't have any changes.
What colour does blue litmus paper turn when dipped in ammonia solution?
nope actually, it stays blue and when u dip it in with red litmus paper it went blue, i did experiment so i kno << it would then be: alkali
Does a base turn blue litmus paper blue?
yes a blue litmus paper turns red when put into an acid
What substance in litmus paper helps in its change?
It depends. Litmus paper is used to test pH levels. Blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of acids, and red litmus paper turns blue in the presence of alkalines. Litmus paper is purple in neutral conditions.
When testing pH with litmus paper what will turn red litmus paper to blue?
A base.An alkali turns litmus paper blue.The solution is a base.
How do you find out the PH of a liquid in an experiment?
by test of litmus paper
How can you identify an acid and a base without carrying out a chemical test?
by using a litmus paper
