Question

If blue litmus is placed in an unknown solution, what conclusions can you draw about the substance regarding whether it is an acid,base or neutral

Answer 1

Answer:

blue litmus paper isn't ideal

Explanation:

Since litmus paper turns red when in contact of an acid, it has no way of detecting bases or neutrals.

It is advisable to use pH paper to see about the unknown solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

If a blue litmus paper is placed in an acidic solution, the paper will change its colour to red.

If it's placed in a basic solution, it won't change any colour.

But if it is placed in a neutral solution, it will either change its colour to purple or won't change its colour.
