In a basic solution what color does litmus paper turn?
Litmus paper turns blue in basic solution.
Can You Drink something if you put litmus paper in there first?
The reaction of a litmus paper is contained solely on the litmus paper. The liquid/solution is unchanged when introduced to the paper. It's not advised to drink the liquid/solution if it's inedible, but litmus paper won't affect it.
Does vinegar make litmus paper turn red?
Litmus paper turns red if the solution is acidic and blue if the solution is basic. Vinegar is an acidic solution (due to acetic acid), and will turn the litmus paper red.
When a strip of litmus paper is dipped into an acidic solution the paper turns into what color?
The litmus paper will turn red.
What quantity can tell you weather a solution is acid or base?
pH level Check the pH level of the solution with a piece of litmus paper.
Why do you need to test solutions with Blue litmus paper and red litmus paper?
So you can tell if the solution is an acid or a base
In a basic solution what color does litmus paper turn?
Litmus paper turns blue in basic solution.
What do you use litmus paper for?
to tell if a solution is acidic or basic (paper changes color when exposed to solutions)
Do not alter the color of litmus paper?
In a neutral solution the litmus paper is purple.
What uses are there for litmus paper?
The litmus paper is used to evaluate the pH of a solution.
What colour of sugar solution on litmus paper?
Litmus does not change color in sugar solution.
Why is litmus used as an indicator?
Litmus paper can be used to determine if a solution is acidic or basic
What is the uses of yellow litmus paper?

Litmus paper doesn't "do anything" to a solution. Litmus paper has some dyes on it, so some of the dyes might leak into the solution though. NaCl won't do anything to Litmus paper either. Salt, when dissolved in water, maintains a neutral solution. Litmus paper only changes color when there is a pH change. So, nothing really will happen.
How is litmus solution is prepared?
Litmus solution is a mixture of dyes dissolved in water.
