Question

What is the effect of red litmus in basic solutions?

Answer 1

When it is exposed to a basic compound, the hydrogen ions react with the added base. The conjugate base formed from the litmus acid has a blue color, so the wet red litmus paper turns blue in alkaline solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

When we dip red lithmus in basic sokution it converts into blue colour.

More-

• Due to presence of weak diprotic acid in red lithmus.When ut dipped into basic solution (basic compound) it turns into blue colour
• pH value determines the the solution is acidic or basic.
• In acidic solution pH is less than 7 (1-7).
• For neutral or distilled water pH is 7.
• In basic or Alkaline medium pH is more than 7 (7-14).
