A bleaching agent turns litmus paper white.
For example, chlorine gas turns damp blue litmus paper red, and then bleaches, making it white.
When red litmus paper is dipped in distilled water, it will remain red, indicating that the water is neutral and does not change the acidity. Similarly, when blue litmus paper is dipped in the same distilled water, it will also remain blue. This observation confirms that distilled water has a neutral pH of around 7, which does not affect the litmus papers' color.
dark green
If it is pure water, it doesn't change.
Blue litmus paper will turn red when dipped in a solution with a pH below 4.5, indicating acidity. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) has a pH of around 3.5, which is acidic. Therefore, blue litmus paper dipped in aspirin will turn red.
Red litmus paper will stay red when placed in hot water, as it only changes color in the presence of acids. If the hot water is acidic, then the red litmus paper will turn blue.
Nothing particularly happens.

Sodium chloride water solution is neutral.
It would turn Green
The litmus paper will turn blue if dipped in lime water, indicating that the lime water is basic. Lime water is a solution of calcium hydroxide, which is a strong base that can turn litmus paper blue.
Purple litmus paper will remain purple when dipped in tap water. Tap water is typically neutral or slightly basic, so it will not cause a color change in purple litmus paper.
If rainwater is dipped into a blue litmus paper, there will likely be no color change. Blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid, but rainwater is typically slightly acidic due to dissolved carbon dioxide, which is not strong enough to turn blue litmus red.
Red litmus paper will stay red when placed in hot water, as it only changes color in the presence of acids. If the hot water is acidic, then the red litmus paper will turn blue.
If test chlorine with a moist blue litmus paper, Turn from blue à red à colourless It is because chlorine reacts with water (moisture on paper) to from HOCl (hypochlorite acid) which is a bleaching agent, turning the dye to colourless Cl2 (aq) + H2O (l) à Hcl (aq) + HOCl (aq) and HOCl à HCl + [O]
