Question

What is litmus paper and its disadvantage

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate here is your answer:

Litmus paper is chemically dyed paper used to determine the pH of the liquid that it is being dipped into. The paper turns blue for a liquid with a pH greater than 8 and red for a liquid with a pH less than 5. Acids turn blue litmus paper red while bases turn red litmus paper blue.

Litmus paper does not provide detailed information about the strength or type of the acid or base being tested. It provides only the basic identification information. In comparison, other commercial pH papers provide a range of colors and more specific information about the pH of the compound. A pH meter provides an accurate pH reading. Litmus paper should be used only for rough estimates.
