Because f@ck logic
yes. it is a chemical reaction
HCl (hydrochloric acid) is an acid so it will turn litmus paper red. and alkali will go from red litmus to blue.
Lemon juice is an acid therefore, it turns blue litmus paper red and red litmus paper remains red
Red litmus paper and blue litmus paper. Blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid and red litmus paper turns blue in the presence of an alkali.
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.
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
There is no change in litmus paper, phenophthalein turns yellow, and congo red changes to orange..
Chemical Reaction
There is no change, blue litmus stays blue and red litmus stays red.
The Blue Litmus paper will turn into Red, while the Red litmus paper will retain its color. So it only indicates that the said mixture is an acid.
this is very easy to understand if u place red litmus paper in a acid it turns red/pink. if u place red litmus paper in a base it turns blue. blue litmus paper in a acid turns pink/red. blue litmus paper in a base stays blue.
It will remains red because soft drinks is acid
yes. it is a chemical reaction
yes a blue litmus paper turns red when put into an acid
blue litmus paper turns to red when its in contact with acid
Red litmus paper is used to check for basicity. It turns blue when exposed to bases. Blue litmus paper is used to check for acidity. It turns red when exposed to acids.
Turns red litmus paper blue.
