They consist of ions in solution, and are therefore electrolytes.
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.
Red color in acidic solutions and blue color in basic solutions.
Red color in acidic solutions and blue color in basic solutions.
Because litmus change color depending on the pH: red in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions.
Blue Litmus Paper turns red when it is placed in an acid
The common property that both acidic and basic solutions share is the ability to conduct electricity due to the presence of ions (H+ or OH-) in the solution. This is why acidic and basic solutions are termed as electrolytes.
Yes, basic solutions conduct electricity because they contain ions that are free to move and carry electric current. The presence of hydroxide ions in basic solutions allows them to conduct electricity.
Yes, you can use the electrical conductivity of a solution to infer its acidity or basicity. Acidic solutions generally conduct electricity better than pure water, as they contain more ions such as H+ ions. Basic solutions can also conduct electricity to some extent, as they contain ions such as OH-. By measuring the conductivity of the solution, you can make a rough determination of its acidity or basicity.
Litmus paper reacts with acidic solutions by turning red and with basic solutions by turning blue. Phenolphthalein changes color from colorless in acidic solutions to pink in basic solutions. Universal indicator changes color according to the pH of the solution, exhibiting a range of colors from red for acidic solutions to purple for basic solutions.
Basic solutions have a higher concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) compared to acidic solutions. This property allows basic solutions to have a pH greater than 7, while acidic solutions have a pH less than 7.
Alkaline solutions are basic, not acidic. They have a pH greater than 7, indicating a higher concentration of hydroxide ions.
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.

Cyanidin is red in acidic solution, and blue in basic solution
Electrolytes can be both acidic and basic. It depends on the specific electrolyte and its chemical properties. Some electrolytes can produce acidic solutions, while others can produce alkaline (basic) solutions.
basic solutions have more bases in them, molecules that release 0H- ions in the solution. acidic solutions have more acids, molecules that give off H+ ions in the solution
