Which key property do all indicators possess?
They all possess is litmus
What color does metal turn litmus paper to?
In acid solution, blue colour of litmus is changed into red. In basic sol litmus change to blue.
Can litmus dye float?
Litmus dye cannot float as it is a soluble substance that dissolves in water. When added to a liquid, litmus dye will evenly disperse in the solution and change color based on the pH of the solution.
Was there really a candy called Litmus lozenge?
No, there is no record of a candy called Litmus lozenge. Litmus is a water-soluble mixture of different dyes extracted from lichens, and it is commonly used to test the acidity or alkalinity of substances.
What is the chemical property for hydrogen gas?
1.Action with litmus
What substance is litmus?
it is alkali chemical if i am not mistaken
What subject does litmus come from biologychemistry or physics?
Litmus comes from chemistry. It is a water-soluble mixture of different dyes extracted from lichens that is commonly used as a pH indicator in laboratory experiments and various applications.
If red litmus is added to a alkali?
When red litmus is added to an alkali, its colour changes to blue. This is because an alkali is a base and has the property of turning red litmus paper or red litmus solution to blue.
What are the property of co2 gas?
1 odourless. colourless. tasteless gas. 2slightly soluble in water. 3does not support combustion. 4forms an acid when dissolved in water..carbonic acid. 5because of this it turns blue litmus red. 6turns limewater milky..charteristic test for CO2.
What property of chlorine is shown by turning red litmus paper white?
Chlorine is a bleaching agent, which is why it turns red litmus paper white. This reaction is due to chlorine's oxidizing properties, which allows it to break down the red pigment in the litmus paper.
When drop of lemon juice are put on blue litmus it turn red what will happen if you put some drops of soap solution on the same position on litmus paper?
The litmus papers are used for checking the acidic and basic nature of any substance. That's why drop of lemon juice, which is by nature acidic, turns blue litmus into red(as the property of acidic solution is to change the color of blue litmus to red). So soap solution which is by nature basic will turn red litmus into blue (as the property of basic solution is to change the color of red litmus to blue).
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
