Litmus is an organic dye extracted from lichens. It is red belowpH4.5and blue above pH8.3. One drop ofeither0.1MHCl(pH1)or apH3buffer changes blue litmus paper to red, but a dropof0.001MHCl(alsopH3)does not. Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thecolor of litmus remained unchanged.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Concept 

Capacity: The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a body by a certain amount is known as heat capacity. The amount of heat in joules required to raise the temperature 1 Kelvin is known as heat capacity (symbol: C) in SI units.

02

Step 2:Explain the given statement

The color of Litmus is red below pH4.5and its color will change to blue with the change of pH. At the above8.3pH it shows blue color.

When either 1 drop of0.1MHCl which has pH1or one drop of a solution withpH3 add to the litmus paper, its color changed from blue to red. But when a drop of 0.001MHCl which has pH3add, it color did not change from blue to red. It remains blue.

Because when add 1 drop of 0.1MHClwhich haspH1 or one drop of a solution with pH3add to the litmus paper its pH come close to 3 and at below 4.5pHit has red color. While when a drop of 0.001MHClwhich haspH3 add to the litmus, the pH of litmus will not come below.4.5pH

Therefore, the color of litmus remained unchanged.
