What effect does aqueous ammonia have on red litmus paper?
It turns blue!
How do you test for ammonia gas?
The most common way is to place a damp red litmus paper near it. It turns blue if the gas is ammonia.Place a damp red litmus paper over the mouth of the test tube. Ammonia gas turns damp red litmus paper blue. Ammonia also has a pungent odour.Ammonia turns red litmus into blue.It also emmits a white gas with HCl.
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

Does ammonia turn litmus paper blue or red?
No, it shouldn't...AgNO3 has a neutral pH of 6, so the paper probably won't change colors.
