Question #3
A solution turns red litmus blue. Its pH is likely:
A. 5
B. 9
C. 7
D. 2

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A solution turning red litmus blue is basic, so pH > 7. Among options, pH 9 is basic. pH 2 and 5 are acidic (blue litmus turns red). pH 7 is neutral. Litmus is a natural indicator extracted from lichens. Red litmus in base remains blue, blue litmus in acid turns red. Practical: Phenolphthalein gives pink in basic solution (pH > 8.3).
