No, rather the opposite, it is slightly basic.
Sea water contains a large no. of salts dissolved in it making its pH 8.0 to 8.3 which means it is basic.
True False
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.

Sea water is in fact basic. This results from the various salts dissolved in the water. Although one would expect sea water to be acidic (carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in water to form carbonic acid), limestone deposits help to keep the ocean basic.
