Litmus is not neutral, but rather an indicator that changes color in the presence of acidic or basic solutions. It turns red in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions.
Purple litmus (neutral) become red in acidic solutions.
im thinking it would turn red:)
In a neutral solution, both red and blue litmus paper will remain unchanged in color. Red litmus paper turns blue in basic solutions, while blue litmus paper turns red in acidic solutions.
If the red litmus paper stays red, then the object tested may be either an acid or a neutral substance. The substance must be tested on blue litmus paper. if the blue paper stays blue, then it is neutral. If it turns red, then it is an acid.
Litmus is not neutral, but rather an indicator that changes color in the presence of acidic or basic solutions. It turns red in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions.
One indicator that turns red in acidic solutions is litmus paper. Litmus paper is blue in neutral solutions and turns red in acidic solutions due to a color change caused by a change in pH.
Purple litmus (neutral) become red in acidic solutions.
If a substance is neutral, it will not cause a significant color change in litmus paper. Litmus paper turns red in acidic solutions and blue in alkaline solutions, but will remain largely unchanged in neutral solutions.

In a neutral solution, both red and blue litmus paper will remain unchanged in color. Red litmus paper turns blue in basic solutions, while blue litmus paper turns red in acidic solutions.
Test each unknown solution with both red and blue litmus papers. If red litmus turns blue, the solution is basic. If blue litmus turns red, the solution is acidic. If both red and blue litmus papers remain the same, the solution is neutral.
The red litmus paper remain red in acidic solutions, under a pH=4,3 at 25 oC.
If the red litmus paper stays red, then the object tested may be either an acid or a neutral substance. The substance must be tested on blue litmus paper. if the blue paper stays blue, then it is neutral. If it turns red, then it is an acid.
Litmus paper is simply used to check for acidity. It is not quantitative, only qualitative. That is, its use will not identify an exact pH, but its use can identify if the substance being checked is acidic or not.
Red litmus paper changes color at a pH less than 4.5, turning red in acidic solutions and blue in neutral or alkaline solutions.
Litmus paper turns red in acidic solutions.
