Solution

Litmus was used for the primary time in about 1300 by Spanish physician Arnaldus de Villa Nova.

The main use of litmus is to check whether the given solution is acidic or basic, as blue paper turns red under acidic conditions, and the red paper turns blue under basic or alkaline conditions.
