A student places blue litmus paper in an acidic solution and finds that it turns red. If the student gradually adds sodium hydroxide to the solution, what will be the colour of litmus near the neutralisation point?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Purple

The concept involves the colour behaviour of litmus during acid-base neutralisation. Initially, the acidic solution turns blue litmus red. As sodium hydroxide is added, OH⁻ ions remove H⁺ ions, so acidity decreases. Near the neutral point, both red and blue litmus colours are effectively present and the paper appears purple, making option C correct. Excess NaOH would make it blue.
