HCl (hydrochloric acid) is an acid so it will turn litmus paper red.
and alkali will go from red litmus to blue.
Actually, some acids do burn litmus paper. Hydrochloric acid, for example, can burn paper, but the litmus on litmus paper shields the paper from the acid. Sulfuric acid, however, has dehydration properties, and would suck the water right out from the paper, charring it instantly.
i think purple Acid does not change the color of red litmus paper.
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.
The litmus paper is turned to red color in acidic solutions.
Litmus paper: red color in acidic solutions and blue color in basic solutions.Phenolphthalein: no color in acidic solutions.

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.
Blue litmus paper turns red in acid and stays blue in a base.
No, only a base changes red litmus blue and not a acid.
The litmus paper is turned to red color in acidic solutions.
Yes, red litmus paper is an indicator that changes color in the presence of acids. In acidic conditions, red litmus paper will turn blue.
Litmus paper is a substance that changes color in the presence of acids or bases. Acids turn litmus paper red, while bases turn it blue. By observing the color change, you can identify whether a substance is acidic or basic.
this is very easy to understand if u place red litmus paper in a acid it turns red/pink. if u place red litmus paper in a base it turns blue. blue litmus paper in a acid turns pink/red. blue litmus paper in a base stays blue.
Litmus paper is an indicator that changes color when affected by the pH of certain chemicals. There are two colors to test the general pH of a solution. Alkaline solutions (bases) turn red litmus paper blue. Acidic solutions (acids) turn blue litmus paper red.
isn't it red?? .....or is that in acids?.....
