In a 0.01 M solution of HCl, Litmus will be

Answer 1

In a 0.01 M solution of HCl, Litmus will be red. Litmus paper will turn into red in acidic conditions. Hydrochloric acid is an acid. Litmus is an indicator for acidity and alkalinity made from inchens.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A solution with pH less than 7 will be acidic in nature and it will change color of blue litmus into red.

For example, HCl is a strong acid as it dissociates to give hydrogen ions and chlorine ions.

A solution with pH more than 7 will be basic in nature and it will change color of red litmus into blue.

A solution with pH equal to 7 will be neutral in nature and it will not change the color any litmus paper.

Thus, we can conclude that in a 0.01 M solution of HCl, litmus will be red.
