Sodium hydroxide is a strong base, so it will turn blue litmus paper to red. This color change is due to the alkaline nature of sodium hydroxide which reacts with the blue litmus paper to change its color.


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 color does pH paper turn when dipped in ammonia?

Unfortunately, it depends on the type of pH paper. If you mean standard litmus paper, it will be red (red litmus paper stays that way and blue litmus paper will turn red). Universal indicators change multiple colors depending on pH. If you have dilute concentrations of the same acid you will actually get different colors since pH indicates how much acid is dissociated, not how strong the acid is. Many universal pH indicators turn green colors at low pH.


How can you distinguish between sulfur dioxide and chlorine using blue litmus paper?

Sulfur dioxide will turn blue litmus paper red, indicating acidity due to the formation of sulfurous acid. Chlorine will not produce any color change in blue litmus paper as it is neither acidic nor basic.
