4.No action on litmus paper.

Aqueous solution of NaCN 4. Has no effect on litmus because NACN or sodium cyanide is a salt and hence it has no effect on Litmus Paper. A red litmus turns blue in alkali due to the presence of hydroxyl ions while a blue Litmus turns red in acid due to the presence of hydrogen or hydronium ions. Sodium cyanide is just a salt which can be created by the process of neutralisation of acid and base and being neutral in nature has no effect on Litmus Paper
