When red litmus paper is dipped in distilled water, it will remain red, indicating that the water is neutral and does not change the acidity. Similarly, when blue litmus paper is dipped in the same distilled water, it will also remain blue. This observation confirms that distilled water has a neutral pH of around 7, which does not affect the litmus papers' color.
HOW is blue litmus paper made in brief?
Litmus paper is primarily made out of paper. The paper is mostly made up of wood cellulose, which is treated with solvents beforehand to make sure there are no contaminants.
