Question

What would be the colour of red litmus in a solution of sodium carbonate

Answer 1

Hey mate

We know that sodium carbonate is a basic salt. Hence, its aqueous solution will also be basic in nature. Since acids turn blue litmus red while bases turn red litmus blue, therefore when red litmus paper is dipped in sodium carbonate solution it will change to blue colour. Blue limus paper, however will not show any colour change and will exhibit blue colour only. 

Hope you understand

Thanks
