If litmus was added to washing up powder what colour would it change to?

If litmus paper is added to washing up powder, it would typically turn blue, indicating that the washing up powder is alkaline (basic). Most washing up powders contain sodium carbonate or other alkaline substances, which raise the pH and cause the blue color change in blue litmus paper. If red litmus paper is used, it would remain red, confirming the basic nature of the solution.


Which colour does red litmus paper turn if put into a glass of sea water?

Yes, sea water would change color with red litmus paper because sea water is basic. Under basic, or alkaline, conditions, red litmus paper turns blue. Being between the pH range of 7.5 and 8.4 (between 7 and 14 marks basic conditions), sea water is basic and, therefore, the red litmus paper will change color.
