Question

In which condition red litmus paper turns blue?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B Basic

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

1. They are bitter to taste.

2. They turn red litmus paper blue.

3. They release hydroxyl ion $\left(O{H}^{-1}\right)$ in the solution medium, which are responsible for their basicity.

Thus, from the above mentioned properties we can easily say that the correct answer is option (B).
