There are two types of litmus paper: red litmus
paper and blue litmus paper. Blue litmus paper
turns red if the substance is acidic. Red litmus
paper turns blue if the substance is basic or
alkaline. Litmus turns red in acidic solutions and
blue in basic solutions.
Mi l k
Milk is a white liquid food produced by the mammary
glands of mammals. It is the primary source of nutrition
for young mammals before they are able to digest solid
food.
Milk is used to make
i. butter.
ii. cheese.
iii. yogurt.
Liqui d So a p

A substance used with water for

washing and cleaning, made of a
compound of natural oils or fats with
sodium hydroxide
E osi n
Eosin is the most common dye. It is an acidic
dye that binds It gives a bright pink color.
Uses:
Eosin can be used as dye and to stain
cytoplasm, red blood cells, collagen, and
muscle fibers for histological examination.
An na t t o

Annatto is an orange-red condiment and food

coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote
tree. It is often used to impart a yellow or
orange color to foods, but sometimes also for
its flavor and aroma.

Methylthioninium chloride, commonly

called methylene blue, is a salt used as a
dye.

Color Changing
Milk
 ng in g M il k
Color Cha

Apply several drops of dye to the milk’s surface.

 ng in g M il k
Color Cha

The liquid soap “runs” along the milk’s surface very fast, dragging the dyes along with it.
 ng in g M il k
Color Cha

Try adding a drop of liquid soap.

Acid-Base Detection
 Det ec t io n
Acid-Base
First of all make aqueous solution of copper sulfate, sodium bisulfate, citric acid,
sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate.
 Det ec t io n
Acid-Base
Now dip half litmus paper in every solution to test either it is acid or base.
Fun f ac t s

❖ In an adult human body, 250

grams of salt is present.

❖ Acids and bases can help

neutralize each other.
ELO’s
