उत्तर
Potassium carbonate
Explanation:
Turning red litmus to blue requires a basic or alkaline solution. Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is a basic salt formed from a strong base (KOH) and a weak acid (H2CO3). When dissolved in water, carbonate ions undergo anionic hydrolysis, releasing excess hydroxide ions (OH−), thereby raising the pH above 7 and turning red litmus paper blue.
