Question

. You have been provided with three test tubes. One of them contains

distilled water and the other two contain an acidic solution and a basic

solution, respectively. If you are given only red litmus solution, how

will you identify the contents of each test tube?​

Answer 1

take three small pieces of red litmus paper. Put one drop each of the given solutions on these litmus papers. The liquid which turns red litmus into blue is a basic solution. Divide the blue litmus paper so formed into two parts. Put one drop each of the other two liquids separately on these two pieces of litmus paper; The solution which turns blue litmus paper red is acidic solution. The solution which does not affect the colour of litmus paper is water.

pls mark me as the brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

no, we will only be able to identify the acidic solution.

Explanation:

Its because, a red litmus turns blue when tested with an acidic solution.

It remains red for both a basic and a nuetral(distil) solution.

hence we wont be able to differentiate between thr basic and the distilled water.

hope it helps....follow me^_^
