What color will the water go if you add litmus?
The water should stay the same colour if you are using litmus paper, but if you are using a liquid the colour should change. The colour purely depends on the acidity/alkalinity of the water you are putting it in. Yellows are alkaline, Greens are neutral and Blues are acidic (it may be the other way around.. yellow being acid, blue being alki.) The measure of acidity is pH.
What test can you know if it is a acid or base?
You can test whether a substance is an acid or a base using litmus paper. When dipped in the substance, blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid, while red litmus paper turns blue in the presence of a base.
How would you distinguish Sulphuric acid from Nitric acid and Hydrochloric acid by a chemical test?
To distinguish between Sulphuric acid, Nitric acid, and Hydrochloric acid, you can perform a simple red litmus test: Sulphuric acid turns blue litmus paper red, Nitric acid bleaches red litmus paper, and Hydrochloric acid does not affect the color of red litmus paper. This test is based on their acidic properties and reactions with litmus paper.
What happens to red litmus paper when it touches vinegar?
If you add red litmus paper and it remains red, then you add blue litmus paper and it remains blue, then the the solution is neutral. Kamal
How can you tell if its an acid?
Add an alkali substance to it, such as chalk, if it is an acid it will "fizz" and release carbon dioxide. You could also test with Litmus Paper or Universal indicator.
What colour would water be if you add litmus and acid to it?
Lithmus will give a red color when added to acidified water or it will turn to red when neutral water is acidified.Remember:Litmus turnsBlue in BasicreD in aciD
What do you have to add to litmus to make it purple?
Bases and alkali's turn litmus paper purple.
If you add to pieces of litmus paper The red litmus stayed red and blue litmus paper stayed blue was the liquid acidic alkaline or neu tural?
the liquid is neutral
Two tests for reactions that produce acid end products?
Litmus paper test: Dip a strip of litmus paper into the sample solution. If the paper turns red, it indicates the presence of acid. Phenolphthalein test: Add a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator to the solution. If the solution turns pink or red, it indicates the production of acid.
What the chemical test that can carry out to show that the liquid is an acid solution?
Add chalk (Calcium carbonate) if it is an acid the chalk will 'fizz' as it reacts and it will give off carbon dioxide gas. Or just use a universal indicator solution or test with litmus paper.
What colour does blue litmus paper turn when dipped in alkaline?
Blue litmus paper stays blue in a neutral solution. It turns red only when in an acidic solution. Similarly, red litmus paper would stay red in a neutral solution and turn blue in an alkaline solution. Added: acidic: pH below 5.5 it turns (stays) red alkaline: pH above 8.0 it turns (stays) blue neutral, in between 5.5 and 8.0: its color is purple, between 'red and blue' or 'blue and red' A much better indicator paper is universal indicator paper. It is yellow and can tell you the exact pH of the solution it is dipped in, going yellow to red in acidic conditions, blue to purple in alkaline conditions and green in neutral conditions. The exact colour depends on the pH.
How can you identify an acid and an alkali?
You identify acids and alkalis using indicators. Indicators are substances which turns a particular colour for acids and another for bases. E.g. litmus, (acid-red, alkali-green) and phenolphthalein. Indicators have a certain pH value. You can only use a particular indicator of a suitable pH value for a particular acid-base reaction
