Solution
- We know that basic and neutral solutions do not change the colour of blue litmus paper. Since blue litmus remains blue after dipping in the solution, the solution is either basic or neutral in nature.
- Put a drop of this solution on a red litmus paper. If it turns blue, the above solution is basic in nature. If no colour change occurs, it is neutral.
