Litmus ( C IH , NO 3 ) , shown to the right , is the acid -base indicator responsible for the color*change that occurs with litmus paper , commonly used for estimating the PH in laboratories aswell as fish tanks . It is a water soluble solid that is red under acidic conditions , and blue underbasic conditions .HOWhy would litmus behave like an acid and not like a base ?2 )The nitrogen atom would be more basic than the oxygen atom because it is less electronegative . However , theability to delocalize the electrons through resonance . makes the nitrogen a poor base .b )Resonance reduces the basicity of the nitrogen atom but increases the acidity of the alcohol ( - OH ) more*C )The low electronegativity of the oxygen atom makes the proton acidic .( PBoth a ) and b )
