Question

In which condition blue litmus paper turns red?

• A. Acidic
• B. Basic
• C. Neutral
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Acidic

Some of the general properties of acids are as follows:-

1. Acids are sour to taste.

2. Acids turn the blue litmus paper to red but the red litmus paper remains unaffected.

3. Acids release hydrogen ion in the solution medium and these ions are responsible for the acidity of the acids.

Since in acidic condition the blue litmus paper turns red, the correct answer is the option (A).
