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.
Why is it important to use blue and red litmus paper to determine pH?
Because if you only use red litmus paper and the solution you tested kept the paper red, you would think that the solution would also make the blue litmus paper turn red too. But what if the solution was neutral? Then the blue litmus paper would stayblue instead of turn red. Thats why you need to use both blue and red litmus paper.
