Because litmus change color depending on the pH: red in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions.
It helps in indicating whether a substance is acidic or basic A red litmus paper turns blue in basic solution and turns red in acidic solution A blue litmus paper turns red in acidic solution and turns darker blue in basic solution
Litmus paper can be used to determine if a solution is acidic or basic
Litmus paper remains red in an unknown solution because it is designed to indicate acidity. When the litmus paper comes into contact with an acidic solution (pH < 7), it retains its red color due to the presence of hydrogen ions (H+), which cause the color change. Therefore, if the litmus paper stays red, it confirms that the solution is acidic.
a litmus tells us if a substance is acidic or alkaline an acid will turn red litmus paper blue and an alkali will turn blue litmus paper red. if an unknown substance is tested with litmus and the colour did not change, then the substance is said to be neutral or it can be simply water. note that water is needed for acids to show its acidic properties........
Red color in acidic solutions and blue color in basic solutions.
Litmus will allow you to tell if a solution is a acid or a base.

Litmus solution is used to test whether a substance is acidic or basic. It turns red in an acidic solution and blue in a basic solution. It is commonly used in science laboratories and in various industrial applications to determine the pH of a solution.

just put a drop of solution on blue litmus paper. if litmus turn in to red color then solution is acid otherwise it is base .
Blue litmus paper turns red in an acidic solution.
The uses of litmus paper to find out the pH of solution. i.e., to check whether the solution is acidic, basic or neutral. Red litmus always turn to blue if the solution is basic. Blue litmus always turn to red if the solution acidic. They don't change their colour, if the solution is neutral. (7pH).
Litmus solution is obtained from lichens. It is used to test whether the solution is acidic or basic.
Litmus paper is simply used to check for acidity. It is not quantitative, only qualitative. That is, its use will not identify an exact pH, but its use can identify if the substance being checked is acidic or not.
Litmus paper is blue when dipped in an alkaline solution, and red when placed in an acidic solution. The colors begin to merge when you test pH neutral liquids.
Yes, the litmus paper test can determine if an aqueous solution is basic. If the litmus paper turns blue, it indicates that the solution is basic. If it remains red, the solution is acidic.
it is litmus not lithmus . it is a natural indicator . it is a strip of paper either red or blue in colour . it is used whether a solution is acidic or basic in nature. a basic solution turns red litmus to blue and an acidic solution turns blue litmus into red
