What color will acids and bases turn litmus paper?
Acid turns it in red, while base will turn it blue.
How acids and bases can be distinguished from each other using physical properties?
Acids- turn blue litmus paper to red, sour, pH < 7 Bases- turn red litmus paper to blue, bitter, slippery, pH >7 Neutral is a pH of 7
Which of these properties is common to both acids and bases?
Acids all- *Taste sour *Turn blue litmus paper red *React strongly with other elements, especially bases
How can you identify acids and bases?
The most common method is to use something called litmus paper, which comes in both red and blue. When you dip the red litmus paper in the substance, if it turns blue, then the substance is a base. When you dip the blue litmus paper in the substance, if it turns red, then the substance is an acid. However, this doesn't give you the exact pH of the substance, so there are several other devices that you can buy that measure pH.
What colour would litmus turn in acids?
blue litmus paper turns to red when its in contact with acid
What color will acids and bases turn litmus paper?
Acid turns it in red, while base will turn it blue.

What do acids and bases do with each other?
The reaction between acids and bases is called neutralization.
You are given a cup of two unknown solutions one in container A and the other in container B. How would you determine if these solutions are acids or bases?
I would dip litmus paper into each solution. If the litmus paper turns red the solution is an acid, if it turns blue the solution is a base.
How can I distinguish between bases and acids by methods other than using litmus paper?
there are other indicators that can be used - universal Acid-red Base-Blue Neutral-green methyl orange Acid - red Base - yellow
What color will acid rain turn litmus paper?
Acid rain, like other acids, turns blue litmus paper red (pink).
What colour would litmus turn in acids?
blue litmus paper turns to red when its in contact with acid
How can a person distinguish among acids bases and neutral substances?
With a pH meter or pH paper. Other indicator dyes (e.g. litmus, phenolphthalein) may be used if it is not necessary to determine the exact numerical pH value.
How does acids respond to Bases?
Acids + Bases pretty much neutralise each other. They produce salt and water when mixed.
3 ways to test for acids?
The simplest way is to use litmus papers. Acids turn blue litmus paper red; alkalis turn red litmus paper blue. Other ways include the use of indicators such as universal indicator or methyl orange.
