Lime water turns red litmus blue.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Red litmus is used for checking whether a substance is basic in nature.
• It turns blue on coming in contact with a basic solution.
• Lime water is $\mathrm{Ca}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_2$.
• Since $\mathrm{Ca}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_2$is basic in nature, it turns red litmus blue.

Hence, lime water turns red litmus blue is a true statement.
