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.

Universal indicators provide a broader range of pH values and can indicate the acidity or alkalinity of a solution with a color change across a spectrum, making them more versatile than litmus paper. Litmus paper, while useful for quickly identifying whether a solution is acidic or basic, only offers a binary result (red for acidic, blue for basic) without specific pH information. Therefore, for detailed pH analysis, universal indicators are generally considered better. However, for quick tests, litmus paper is convenient and effective.
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.
soap is basic therfore, soap solution will keep blue litmus paper blue and turn red litmus paper blue
Litmus only differentiates between acidic and alkaline solutions. It does not give an accurate value of the degree of acidity of alkalinity. Universal Indicator can help measure the pH of the given solution as it does not just change from red to blue and vice versa, but in solution has a range of colours.
Litmus paper goes red or blue in acids or universal indicator may measure some level of pH
Litmus paper is an indicator paper that turns blue in the presence of a base. It is used to test the pH of a solution, with blue indicating a basic pH.

Yes, red litmus paper is an indicator that changes color in the presence of acids. In acidic conditions, red litmus paper will turn blue.
Red cabbage or beetroot juice will do the job.
yes a blue litmus paper turns red when put into an acid
Universal indicator gives you an indication of the pH of the acid (i.e its 'strength') While both sulfuric acid and vinegar would turn litmus paper red, sulfuric acid would turn universal indicator red, pH of 1, while vinegar would turn it yellow-orange, pH of 4.
When a base is added to red litmus paper, the indicator turns blue. This is because red litmus paper is used to indicate acidic conditions, so a base would cause the paper to change color to blue.
The presence of acid can be detected by using an indicator such as litmus paper. Litmus paper turns blue litmus to red.
An acidic solution will change blue litmus paper to red and basic solutions change red litmus paper to blue
Universal litmus paper typically changes color from red to blue to indicate the acidity or basicity of a substance.
You can test whether a substance is an acid or a base using litmus paper. When dipped in the substance, blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid, while red litmus paper turns blue in the presence of a base.
