When ammonia gas is produced at the bottom of the test tube and comes in contact with the litmus paper at the mouth of the test tube, it reacts with the water on the litmus paper to form ammonium hydroxide. This reaction changes the color of the litmus paper from red to blue, indicating the presence of ammonia gas. The ammonia gas diffuses up the test tube to reach the litmus paper due to differences in concentration.
