When mixed with tap water, bromothymol blue will change color depending on the acidity of the water. In acidic conditions, it will turn yellow; in neutral conditions, it will be green; and in basic conditions, it will be blue. This color change is due to bromothymol blue's pH-sensitive properties.

What is the colour of tap water with blue litmus paper?

Technically the litmus paper should stay blue, but depending on where you live and how your water is treated it can become pink or red. If you use distilled water then it will stay a neutral color but with traces of minerals and chlorine to make tap water safer to drink, the water either becomes slightly acidic or basic. It really just depends on where you live.


What color did the litmus paper turn to when you test tap water?

There are different types of Litmus paper and so the exact color may differ for each of these types. Also, water itself is neutral when pure but most tap water is slightly basic so it depends on what you use. -- Tap water will not cause any colour change when tested with litmus paper. Blue litmus paper remains blue, the same goes for red litmus paper. Although the above statement says that tap water is slightly basic, the pH is still close to neutral and will not be significant enough to cause a colour change for the litmus paper.


Does tap water freeze?

Yes, tap water freezes when the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). At this temperature, the water molecules slow down and arrange themselves into a solid state, forming ice.

Is tap water acidic or neutral?

Tap water is ever so slightly basic. Hello, I have had two chemistry classes and in each class we tested the pH of tap water and it is slightly acidic, which my prof. said was true. I tested my tap water with pH paper, it was approximately 6.75 which is slightly acidic. Remember that tap water is not natural, it is a product of a water treatment plant.

Is tap water colored blue a homogeneous mixture?

No, tap water is not naturally blue. If tap water appears blue, it may have been artificially colored or contaminated by substances such as copper or other minerals. A homogeneous mixture is a uniform mixture where components are evenly distributed, but colored tap water would not be considered a homogeneous mixture as it is not naturally occurring.

First touch the red button to hear the sound. That is the sound of a correct action. Touch a blue button to her the sound. That is the sound of a wrong action. Then tap all three buttons (2 blue and 1 red to make purple triangle) Then tap the red button (to make red line) Then tap both blue buttons (to make blue plus sign) Then tap all three buttons again. If during any of these actions you hear the wrong sound you have to start from the top.
