There is no change in the colour of litmus paper when brought in contact with distilled water. Litmus Paper is used to find whether a solution is Acidic or Basic. Both the assertion and reason are correct statements but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.

Explanation:

  • A litmus paper is used to determine whether the given solution is acidic or basic.
  • A blue litmus paper turns red when it comes in contact with the acidic solutions but remains blue with basic and neutral solutions.
  • On the other hand, red litmus paper turns blue when it comes in contact with basic solutions but remains red with acidic and neutral solutions.
  • Distilled water is neutral in nature. Therefore, when it is brought in contact with any type of litmus paper, no change in the colour is observed.
  • Thus, both the assertion and reason are correct statements but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
