You probably mean litmus paper. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litmus.)
A red litmus paper turns blue in the presence of a base/alkali, while a blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid.
Litmus Paper.
You would have to look at the nurk of the base and the whapple of the acid and i it is an xx and yy it would distinguish because then it dismanages it but otherwise if it is xy yx then it physicaly can't distinguish experimentally without tasting it.
Blue litmus turns red in the presence of an acid and remains blue in the presence of a base.
Acid can be detected using litmus paper which turns red when exposed to acids, while alkali turns it blue. Electronic pH meters can also be used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
A red litmus paper turns blue in the presence of a base/alkali, while a blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid.
It is Litmus Paper.

Two examples of natural indicators of acids are red cabbage juice, which turns red in the presence of acids and green in the presence of bases, and litmus paper, which turns red in the presence of acids and blue in the presence of bases.

One common test for an alkali is using red litmus paper - it will turn blue in the presence of an alkaline substance. Another test is using universal indicator paper, which will show a color change to indicate the presence of an alkali.
Bromothymol blue is an indicator that is pale blue in a basic solution and turns yellow in the presence of an acid.
Red/blue red turns to blue to detect alkali blue turns to red to detect acid
Litmus paper is an indicator that changes color in acid and alkali solutions. In an acid solution, litmus paper turns red, while in an alkali solution, it turns blue.
just saying that I'm 12 and i know the answer!an acid will turn red in litmus paper or a pinkcolour.if it is a week acid it will turn yellow or green. :)
