Litmus Experiment

 Hello everyone welcome back to my blog. Today in Science we did an experiment using Litmus Paper. It's a paper that can detect whether a liquid is an acid or an alkali. This is what we did.

Materials:

1. Red Litmus Paper,

2. Blue Litmus Paper,

3. Sodium Hydroxide,

4. Hydrochloric Acid.

5. Pipette,

6. 4 Test Tubes.


Steps: 

1. Rip the litmus paper in half and put half in each test tube.2

2. Add 3 drops of hydrochloric acid to the blue litmus paper in test tube 1.

3. Add 3 drops of hydrochloric acid to the red litmus paper in test tube 2.

4. Add 3 drops of Sodium Hydroxide to the blue litmus paper in test tube 3.

5. Add 3 drops of Sodium Hydroxide to the blue litmus paper in test tube 4.


Conclusion:

The experiment was amazing and I did not expect what to happen. If you want to know what happens you should try it yourself.

  1. I do not have the litmus papers at home, so can not do them. Your experiments sound like fun, Dylan.
