Which colour does red litmus paper turn if put into a glass of sea water?

Yes, sea water would change color with red litmus paper because sea water is basic. Under basic, or alkaline, conditions, red litmus paper turns blue. Being between the pH range of 7.5 and 8.4 (between 7 and 14 marks basic conditions), sea water is basic and, therefore, the red litmus paper will change color.

What is the colour of tap water with blue litmus paper?

Technically the litmus paper should stay blue, but depending on where you live and how your water is treated it can become pink or red. If you use distilled water then it will stay a neutral color but with traces of minerals and chlorine to make tap water safer to drink, the water either becomes slightly acidic or basic. It really just depends on where you live.


What color did the litmus paper turn to when you test tap water?

There are different types of Litmus paper and so the exact color may differ for each of these types. Also, water itself is neutral when pure but most tap water is slightly basic so it depends on what you use. -- Tap water will not cause any colour change when tested with litmus paper. Blue litmus paper remains blue, the same goes for red litmus paper. Although the above statement says that tap water is slightly basic, the pH is still close to neutral and will not be significant enough to cause a colour change for the litmus paper.
