An acidic solution would have a sour taste and turn litmus red. Acids release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, which gives them these characteristics.
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 not considered a smart material. Smart materials typically respond dynamically to external stimuli, such as temperature, light, or electric fields, and can change their properties accordingly. In contrast, litmus paper is a pH indicator that changes color in response to acidity or alkalinity but does not possess the ability to actively adapt or change its fundamental characteristics.
Litmus paper can be used to determine if a solution is acidic or basic
Acid turns blue litmus red and maintains red litmus at the same color.
Three characteristics of bases is that it has a bitter taste, doesn't react well with metals ,and turns red litmus paper blue.
An acidic solution would have a sour taste and turn litmus red. Acids release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, which gives them these characteristics.
Characteristics of bases are: bitter in taste, soapy feel on fingers, mostly react with acids and precipitate salts, turn red litmus paper blue, contain metal oxides or hydroxides.
Color of litmus will change.Red litmus will change into blue.

Litmus is a natural dye indicator extracted from lichens.They react with acid (blue litmus turns red)& bases(red litmus turns blue) .Paper made with litmus dye indicators are called litmus paper and used in chemical laboratories.
Acids turn blue litmus to red. Bases turn red litmus blue.
litmus paper turns blue litmus red when tested on an acid and red litmus blue when tested on a base
Litmus paper can be used to determine if a solution is acidic or basic
Acid turns blue litmus red and maintains red litmus at the same color.
Dip the litmus paper into the solution you are testing. Hold it up in the air, holding the dry bit. Look at the bit you dipped. If the solution was an acid, red litmus will stay red, blue litmus will turn red. If the solution was an alkali, red litmus will turn blue, blue litmus will stay red. If the solution was neutral, red litmus will stay red, blue litmus will stay blue.
