What will be the action of the following substances on litmus paper?​

Dry HCl gas, Moistened NH3 gas, Lemon juice, Carbonated soft drink, Curd, Soap solution.

Open in App
Solution

Lemon juice, carbonated soft drink and curd contain acids. Therefore, they turn litmus paper into red. ​

​Moistened NH3 is a base while soap solution contains base. Therefore, they turn litmus blue.​

Dry HCl has no effect on litmus as it does not furnish H+ ions in aqueous solutions. Therefore, it does not change its colour.​
