What can litmus paper tell you about a solution?
Litmus will allow you to tell if a solution is a acid or a base.
Why do you use litmus paper to tell the difference between acid and base?
You use litmus paper to tell the difference between acid and base because it is convenient. It is easy to transport and store, it is easy to use and it is easy to the the result, which is a clear change in color.
What is the number of sulfur atoms in a molecule of sulfurous acid?
The elements in a compound are indicated by the subscript numbers following each element that has more than one atom in the compound. You can tell by looking at the subscript numbers that a single molecule of sulphurous acid, H2SO3, has two atoms of hydrogen, one of sulphur, and three of oxygen.
Is litmus used to differentiate two acids?
Litmus paper is not specific enough to differentiate between two acids. It simply indicates whether a substance is acidic or basic based on a color change. To differentiate between two acids, more specific tests such as titrations or pH measurements would be required.
What is used to identify acids and bases?
an acid is a material or substance that is sour and can change blue litmus paper red a base is a material or substance that is bitter (it sometimes ) and can change red litmus paper blue. Litmus paper can tell an acid from a base Lemon Juice is an acid coffee is a base.
What can litmus paper tell you about a solution?
Litmus will allow you to tell if a solution is a acid or a base.
How can you tell if a chemical is a acid?
The easiest (most basic) way is to place litmus paper in (or above) the solution. Red Litmus will turn blue in the presence of an acid.
How can you tell if something is a acid or base?
A PH meter or litmus paper.
What can tell us if something is a acid an alkaline?
litmus paper test
How can you tell if an acid is one or not?
it will have replaceable h+ ions and it can be found by litmus paper if blue litmus dipped in soln convert to red.
Why do you use litmus paper to tell the difference between acid and base?
You use litmus paper to tell the difference between acid and base because it is convenient. It is easy to transport and store, it is easy to use and it is easy to the the result, which is a clear change in color.
Why do you need to test solutions with Blue litmus paper and red litmus paper?
So you can tell if the solution is an acid or a base
What is the name given to a dye or mixture of dyes that tell us if something is acid or alkali?
An indicator, for example Litmus.
How can you tell if its an acid?
Add an alkali substance to it, such as chalk, if it is an acid it will "fizz" and release carbon dioxide. You could also test with Litmus Paper or Universal indicator.
How do you use the word sulfurous in a sentence?
I could tell the gunpowder was very sulfurous because it was yellow, but burned with a blue flame. A sulfurous smell came from the mine, so we decided not to enter.

What does an universal indicator tell you about an acid that litmus doesn't?
Universal indicator gives you an indication of the pH of the acid (i.e its 'strength') While both sulfuric acid and vinegar would turn litmus paper red, sulfuric acid would turn universal indicator red, pH of 1, while vinegar would turn it yellow-orange, pH of 4.
