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
What color does a strip of litmus paper dipped in acidic solution turn?
Litmus paper is blue when dipped in an alkaline solution, and red when placed in an acidic solution. The colors begin to merge when you test pH neutral liquids.
How can you test pH in milk. Is litmus paper sufficient?
we can test pH in milk by pH meter.No litmus paper is not sufficiet.
Can litmus paper be used to test acidity of water?
No, it can only show whether the pH is above 7, exactly 7, or below 7
How can you show that something is an acid or a base?
Its easy. You could try the Litmus paper test. Take an acidic and a basic solution in separate test tubes. Now take a litmus paper and dip it first in the acidic solution, if the litmus paper turns red, that mean the solution is acid. Now, dip it in the basic solution, if the litmus papaer turns blue that means the solution is basic.
What two colors will litmus paper turn to?
Red and blue are the two colors of litmus paper. Litmus paper is used to test the pH of a substance.

What colour will it be when a acidic is test with a blue litmus paper?
litmus paper turns blue litmus red when tested on an acid and red litmus blue when tested on a base
