Many compounds dissolved in water will turn blue litmus red, since this indicates that the solution is acidic. For example, acid rain is formed by carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide dissolving in rain water.
Acid; Meaning it is ranked less than seven and at least zero on the pH scale.
No totally different, universal indicator is a mixture of chemical which shows the precise p.H of a substance, blue litmus paper reveals whether the substance is acidic or alkaline.
well as we know if we want to test a substance to see if its a base then we use red litmus paper and for an acid we use blue litmus paper. So if we are using blue litmus paper that means we are obviously testing to see if we have an acid right? So if we see it turn pink then that means that are substance is an acid but it is not very strong and also has some of a base to it. If you want to see what i mean look up a PH scale. Hope this helped. :)
the color of the litmus paper does not change.
Red litmus paper is used to check for basicity. It turns blue when exposed to bases. Blue litmus paper is used to check for acidity. It turns red when exposed to acids.

Properties of bases include accepting protons (H+), feeling slippery, and turning litmus paper blue. They do not have a sour taste, generate a sensation of bubbling when mixed with acids, or turn litmus paper red.
The substance is likely a base. Bases are slippery to the touch, dissolve easily in water, and turn red litmus paper blue due to their ability to accept protons. Examples of common bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).

Dip the litmus paper into the solution in question. If the paper turns red, the substance is acidic. If the paper turns blue, the substance is basic. If there is no color change, then the substance is neutral.
Red litmus paper is used to test for acids. If the red litmus paper turns blue when dipped in a substance, it indicates the presence of an acid.
litmus paper is genrally used to verify whether a substance is acid or base
A base/alkali substance will turn litmus paper blue.
The most common method is to use something called litmus paper, which comes in both red and blue. When you dip the red litmus paper in the substance, if it turns blue, then the substance is a base. When you dip the blue litmus paper in the substance, if it turns red, then the substance is an acid. However, this doesn't give you the exact pH of the substance, so there are several other devices that you can buy that measure pH.
THE COLOUR of the litmus paper will not change as a salt solution is neutral
