Litmus paper is a sort of dark mauve colour in neutral substances like water. It was traditionally described as 'claret', though I never thought it looked like the claret I drank.
Blue litmus paper would be used and if the chemical is an acid the litmus paper would turn red.
The litmus paper would stay red. That means vinegar is an acid.
Yes - with blue litmus paper if the solution was an acid it would turn red. if the solution was an alkali it would stay blue or if the solution is neutral it would turn green:)
Red litmus paper would turn blue in a phosphate solution, indicating that the solution is basic.
When a base is added to red litmus paper, the indicator turns blue. This is because red litmus paper is used to indicate acidic conditions, so a base would cause the paper to change color to blue.
It would turn Green
Litmus paper would turn red if apricot juice, which is acidic, was dropped on it. This is because litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid.
Blue litmus paper would be used and if the chemical is an acid the litmus paper would turn red.

Actually, some acids do burn litmus paper. Hydrochloric acid, for example, can burn paper, but the litmus on litmus paper shields the paper from the acid. Sulfuric acid, however, has dehydration properties, and would suck the water right out from the paper, charring it instantly.
Yes, sea water would change color with red litmus paper because sea water is basic. Under basic, or alkaline, conditions, red litmus paper turns blue. Being between the pH range of 7.5 and 8.4 (between 7 and 14 marks basic conditions), sea water is basic and, therefore, the red litmus paper will change color.
Red litmus paper would remain red because distilled water is essentially neutral, meaning it has a pH pf 7. Red litmus paper does not measure pH and only changes to a blue color when placed in acidic solutions, anything from pH 6.9-0.
