What colour does litmus paper turn in alkali?


Question asked by: mrquestion

Asked on: 04 Jan 2010

In an alkali, or what is called a base in terms of chemistry, the litmus paper turns a blue colour.

Therefore this is a useful test for a base or alkaki, note that it is called a base because it neutralises an acid.
