Question:

What happens when aqueous solution of sulphuric acid comes in contact with blue litmus paper? 

Options:

Red

Green 

Pink 

No change 

Correct Answer:

Red

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1. Red.

When an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid comes in contact with blue litmus paper, the litmus paper turns red. Sulfuric acid is a strong acid and it reacts with the blue litmus paper, causing it to change color to red. This is because the acid donates protons (H⁺ ions) to the litmus paper, making it acidic and causing the color change.
