litmus paper is an indicator which contains a chemical. this chemical breaks down when t comes into contact with an acid or alkali. this results in a color change..
the regular litmus which is usually 2 colors change accordingly:
red litmus + acid = blue litmus
blue litmus + alkali = red litmus
note: using moist litmus paper ensures more accurate results : )
hope this info was useful : )

What else can I help you with?
What color will an acid change litmus paper?
An acid will change litmus paper to red.
How does base react to litmus paper?
If a base is applied to litmus paper, it will turn the litmus paper blue. This color change occurs because bases typically have a pH greater than 7 and cause litmus paper to turn blue to indicate their basic nature.
When a base is added to red litmus paper he indicator turns what color?
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.
What happens to litmus paper touches an acid?
When blue litmus paper touches an acid it becomes red. This is the type of litmus paper that detects acids. When red litmus paper touches an acid, it will remain red. This is used to test a base.
What is the color of universal litmus paper?
Universal litmus paper typically changes color from red to blue to indicate the acidity or basicity of a substance.
Is change in color a clue that can indicate a chemical change?
Yes. Research litmus paper.
What color will an acid change litmus paper?
An acid will change litmus paper to red.
Do not alter the color of litmus paper?
Litmus paper color changes are used to indicate the pH of a substance. It turns red in acidic conditions and blue in alkaline conditions. The color change is a useful visual indicator and crucial for pH testing.
How does base react to litmus paper?
If a base is applied to litmus paper, it will turn the litmus paper blue. This color change occurs because bases typically have a pH greater than 7 and cause litmus paper to turn blue to indicate their basic nature.
When a base is added to red litmus paper he indicator turns what color?
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.
What happens to litmus paper touches an acid?
When blue litmus paper touches an acid it becomes red. This is the type of litmus paper that detects acids. When red litmus paper touches an acid, it will remain red. This is used to test a base.
Why does not acids burn litmus paper?
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.
What is the color of universal litmus paper?
Universal litmus paper typically changes color from red to blue to indicate the acidity or basicity of a substance.
What methanol litmus paper test color?
Methanol is a neutral substance and typically does not change the color of litmus paper. Litmus paper changes color in the presence of acidic or alkaline substances.
How does litmus paper indicate a base?
Litmus paper indicates a base by changing color when it comes into contact with a basic solution. Specifically, blue litmus paper remains blue or may intensify in color, while red litmus paper turns blue. This color change occurs because the pH of a basic solution is above 7, which causes the chemical indicators in the litmus paper to react accordingly. Thus, blue litmus paper is a visual cue for the presence of a base.
What does not change litmus paper color?
water
Why doesn't water have any effect on litmus paper?
Litmus paper is sensitive to changes in acidity or alkalinity, not simply the presence of water. Water is neutral and does not significantly alter the pH of a solution, so it does not cause a noticeable change in the color of litmus paper.
