because litmus paper is smeared of some chemical substances which makes litmus paper to change color when reacted with acids or bases
as blue litmus turns red the compound is an acid. Non metal oxides are acidic in nature. Thus the the element 'X' is a non metal.
yes a blue litmus paper turns red when put into an acid
Acid turns it in red, while base will turn it blue.
Actually, no. Acids turn litmus red, not bases.Bases just turns litmus blue.
Any substance that's pH value over 8.0 turns red litmus to blue.
as blue litmus turns red the compound is an acid. Non metal oxides are acidic in nature. Thus the the element 'X' is a non metal.
When a metal oxide is dissolved in water, it typically forms a basic solution. In this case, blue litmus paper will remain blue, indicating the basic nature of the solution. If the metal oxide were to produce an acidic solution, red litmus paper would turn blue, but this is less common for metal oxides.
In acid solution, blue colour of litmus is changed into red. In basic sol litmus change to blue.
Characteristics of bases are: bitter in taste, soapy feel on fingers, mostly react with acids and precipitate salts, turn red litmus paper blue, contain metal oxides or hydroxides.
No, copper will not turn red litmus paper to blue. Red litmus paper changes to blue in the presence of a basic (alkaline) substance, while copper is a metal and does not exhibit basic properties. Therefore, it does not affect the color of litmus paper.
Acids turn blue litmus to red. Bases turn red litmus blue.
yes a blue litmus paper turns red when put into an acid
Acid turns it in red, while base will turn it blue.
Acids turn blue litmus pink and bases turn pink litmus blue.
Actually, no. Acids turn litmus red, not bases.Bases just turns litmus blue.
Red litmus paper remains red when dipped into an acid. Blue litmus paper will turn red in an acid. Similarly, Blue litmus remains blue in a base. Red litmus turns blue in a base.
Litmus paper that is blue will turn or stay in ______ the presence of a strong base?
