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.
An acid turns blue litmus paper red. This is because the acid donates a proton (H+) to the water in the litmus paper, changing the pH and causing the litmus paper to change color.
Acid turns litmus paper red.
The red litmus paper will remain red in acetic acid. Acetic acid is a weak acid and does not change the color of red litmus paper.
An acid will change litmus paper to red.
Depends on the litmus paper. Red litmus will not turn but blue litmus will turn redish pink.
pH.paper tells the strength of an acid and alkali and litmus paper tells that whether the substance is an acid or an alkali.
An acid turns blue litmus paper red. This is because the acid donates a proton (H+) to the water in the litmus paper, changing the pH and causing the litmus paper to change color.

An acid turns the blue litmus paper red.
An acid will change litmus paper to red.
Depends on the litmus paper. Red litmus will not turn but blue litmus will turn redish pink.
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.
In an acid solution the blue litmus paper become red.
Yes, litmus paper can be used to differentiate between sulfuric acid and ethanoic acid. Sulfuric acid is a strong acid and will turn blue litmus paper red, while ethanoic acid (acetic acid) is a weak acid and will also turn blue litmus paper red, but the color change may not be as intense. A pH test strip or universal indicator may be more effective in distinguishing between these two acids due to their differing pH levels.
Blue litmus paper turns RED in an acid. Red litmus paper turns BLUE in a base.
