Question

Answer 1

Red or Orange.......

Answer 2

Answer:

Turmeric Is a natural indicator which can be used to test whether a given substance is acidic or basic in nature.

When we put drops of alkaline solution like NaOH or NaHCO3 Solution on turmeric paper , It turns to Dark Red in colour indicating the nature of solution as Basic.

When an acid is poured on turmeric paper, there will not be any effect.

Conclusion :

Turmeric paper + acid = No change in colour

Turmeric paper + base= Dark Red colour.
