Sulphur dioxide is an acid, so it will turn it red, chlorine is also an acid, so it will turn it red, but then bleech it.

Which Brown gas bleaches damp litmus paper?

Chlorine gas in combination with water can bleach damp litmus paper. The reaction between chlorine gas and water forms hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid, which are powerful bleaching agents that can react with and bleach the litmus paper.


What do you see when chlorine is put with litmus or universal indicator paper?

When chlorine gas reacts with litmus paper, it will turn red litmus paper white and then dissolve it. When chlorine gas reacts with universal indicator paper, it will change the color to yellow due to its acidic nature.


What is the test for Chlorine Gas?

One test for chlorine gas is using starch-iodide paper, which turns blue in the presence of chlorine gas due to the formation of the triiodide ion. Another test involves the reaction of chlorine gas with damp litmus paper, which is bleached, turning it white. Additionally, the distinctive smell of chlorine gas can also be used to identify its presence.


How do you test if chlorine gas is present?

Chlorine can be in different states (SOLID, LIQUID,GAS) but with another compound. some of the tests are as follows... 1) Is green-yellow in colour. (GAS) 2) Has a pungent choking smell. (GAS) 3) Will turn moist litmus or universal indicator paper red, (Solid,Liquid) and then bleach it white. 4) Will put out a lit splint. (GAS)


Sodium is readily oxidized by oxygen gas if the product of the reaction were dissolved in water what would be the color the litmus for a litmus test?

The product of the reaction between sodium and oxygen is sodium oxide, which forms when sodium oxidizes in the presence of oxygen. Sodium oxide is a basic oxide and would turn red litmus paper blue, indicating it is basic.

What property of chlorine is shown by turning red litmus paper white?

Chlorine is a bleaching agent, which is why it turns red litmus paper white. This reaction is due to chlorine's oxidizing properties, which allows it to break down the red pigment in the litmus paper.

What substance is litmus?

it is alkali chemical if i am not mistaken


Can Sulfur dioxide change the litmus color?

Yes, Sulfur dioxide turns moist litmus paper from blue to red.


Is there a way to distinguish an acidic solution from an alkali solution?

litmus paper


Can litmus be use to differentiating between sulphuric acid and ethanoic acid?

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.


What are the chemical tests to distinguish between ethyl ethanoate and butanoic acid?

One way to distinguish between ethyl ethanoate (ethyl acetate) and butanoic acid is by using litmus paper. Ethyl ethanoate is neutral, so it will not affect the color of the litmus paper. Butanoic acid is acidic and will turn blue litmus paper red. Another test is to conduct a smell test - ethyl ethanoate has a fruity smell, while butanoic acid has a strong, rancid smell.


Why can't a litmus indicator be used to distinguish between solutions pH 2?

A litmus indicator cannot distinguish between solutions with the same pH, such as two solutions both at pH 2, because it only indicates whether a solution is acidic or basic, not the specific pH value. Since both solutions at pH 2 will turn litmus paper red, the indicator will not provide any additional information to differentiate between them. To differentiate between solutions with the same pH, more precise pH indicators or pH meters would be needed.


What happens when moist blue litmus paper dipped in chlorine?

If test chlorine with a moist blue litmus paper, Turn from blue à red à colourless It is because chlorine reacts with water (moisture on paper) to from HOCl (hypochlorite acid) which is a bleaching agent, turning the dye to colourless Cl2 (aq) + H2O (l) à Hcl (aq) + HOCl (aq) and HOCl à HCl + [O]


How would you distinguish Sulphuric acid from Nitric acid and Hydrochloric acid by a chemical test?

To distinguish between Sulphuric acid, Nitric acid, and Hydrochloric acid, you can perform a simple red litmus test: Sulphuric acid turns blue litmus paper red, Nitric acid bleaches red litmus paper, and Hydrochloric acid does not affect the color of red litmus paper. This test is based on their acidic properties and reactions with litmus paper.
