∙ 13y agoLitmus paper is used to estimate the pH, or the acidity/alkalinity level, of liquids (and some water-soluble gases).
Blue litmus paper measures acidity (pH < 7.0); it turns redder the more acid something is.
Pink litmus paper measures alkalinity (pH > 7.0); it turns bluer the more alkaline (basic) something is.

∙ 14y agoIt was covered with substance that change colours depending on how acid it was when it came into contact to stuff (usually liquid) .
If it is red it's acid, blue means base.
