Question

Dry NH3 has no action on litmus, what a solution of ammonia in water turned red litmus paper blue why is it so? ​

Pawan Prajapati · Answer

Answer:

NH3 is basic in nature, but litmus paper needs ions to change its color. When NH3 reacts with water, NH4OH is formed which is a base and contains NH4+ and OH− ions. Hence, the red litmus turns blue.
