Why is it important to use blue and red litmus paper to determine pH?
Because if you only use red litmus paper and the solution you tested kept the paper red, you would think that the solution would also make the blue litmus paper turn red too. But what if the solution was neutral? Then the blue litmus paper would stayblue instead of turn red. Thats why you need to use both blue and red litmus paper.
Why is litmus used as an indicator?
Litmus paper can be used to determine if a solution is acidic or basic

How do you observe the changing colour of litmus paper?
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.
