The water should stay the same colour if you are using litmus paper, but if you are using a liquid the colour should change.

The colour purely depends on the acidity/alkalinity of the water you are putting it in. Yellows are alkaline, Greens are neutral and Blues are acidic (it may be the other way around.. yellow being acid, blue being alki.) The measure of acidity is pH.

What will happen if you add washing powder to litmus?

Adding washing powder to litmus will not have a noticeable effect on the litmus itself. Litmus is typically used as an indicator to determine acidity or alkalinity by changing color when exposed to different pH levels. Washing powder is a detergent and typically does not interact with litmus in a way that alters its color or properties.


What colour does red litmus paper go when it rains?

Red litmus paper does not change color when it rains; it remains red. Litmus paper is used to test pH levels, and rainwater is typically neutral to slightly acidic, which does not affect the color of red litmus paper. The color change occurs when red litmus paper is exposed to a basic (alkaline) solution, turning blue.

Why is dry ammonia neutral to litmus?

Dry ammonia is neutral to litmus because it does not produce any protons (H+) or hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. Litmus paper changes color in the presence of these ions, so if a substance does not produce them when dissolved, it will not affect the color of litmus paper.

What color does red litmus paper turn in Sodium Chloride?

Acids causes litmus paper to turn into what color?

HCl (hydrochloric acid) is an acid so it will turn litmus paper red. and alkali will go from red litmus to blue.


What colour does litmus paper go in acid?

Litmus paper usually turns either blue or pink (sometimes red) which indicates whether the chemical is an acid or a base. If the paper turns blue it is a base. If pink or red it is an acid.


What Colour does litmus go in ammonia solution?

Ammonia is a base, and will turn red litmus blue.


Red limus paper dipped in vinegar?

Red litmus paper dipped in vinegar will turn red, indicating that vinegar is acidic. This change in color is due to the red litmus paper reacting with the acidity of the vinegar, causing it to remain red. Litmus paper is commonly used to test the acidity or basicity of a solution by observing the color change it undergoes.
