What 3 metals are too reactive to do a metal+acid reaction

A

Potassium, sodium and lithium

57
Q

What 3 metals aren’t reactive enough to do a metal+acid reaction and why

Q

What colour does red litmus turn in acids

A

Red

65
Q

What colour does red litmus turn in a neutral substance

A

Red

66
Q

What colour does red litmus turn in alkalis

A

Blue

67
Q

What colour does Blue litmus turn in acids

A

Red

68
Q

What colour does Blue litmus turn in a neutral substance

A

Blue

69
Q

What colour does blue litmus turn in alkalis

A

Blue

70
Q

Why shouldn’t litmus paper be used alone to determine is a solution is acidic or alkali

A

1) It doesn’t give an indication of of how acidic or alkalinic it is and so universal indicator should be used as well
2) It stays the same colour in neutral substances as well
