Litmus paper
The paper you are referring to is called litmus paper. Litmus paper is a type of pH indicator that changes color in acidic or alkaline solutions, helping to determine whether a substance is an acid or an alkali.
A green liquid called phenolphthalein is commonly used to determine if a chemical is an acid or alkali. Typically, it turns pink in the presence of a base (alkali) and remains colorless in the presence of an acid.
Litmus paper is an indicator that changes color in acid and alkali solutions. In an acid solution, litmus paper turns red, while in an alkali solution, it turns blue.
The reaction between an acid and an alkali is known as a neutralization.
One way to determine if a substance is an acid or alkali is by using pH paper or a pH meter to measure its pH level. Acids typically have a pH below 7, while alkalis have a pH above 7. Another way is to observe its chemical properties, such as its reaction with indicators like litmus paper (turns red in acids and blue in alkalis).

pH.paper tells the strength of an acid and alkali and litmus paper tells that whether the substance is an acid or an alkali.

Use litmus paper
A chemical reaction. Acid + alkali = salt + water eg H2SO4 + 2NaOH = Na2SO4 + 2H2O Sulfuric acid + Sodium Hydroxide = Sodium Sulfate + water Whan as acid meets an alkali they create a chemical reaction. If there is an acid and you add a weak alkali you should bring it down to neutral.
A substance that is neither an acid nor an alkali is generally referred to as a neutral substance. Water is a common example of a neutral chemical compound.

A red litmus paper turns blue in the presence of a base/alkali, while a blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid.
