Ideally, you don't dip litmus paper in an entire container of a chemical. The litmus test is a quick method of determining whether a liquid or gaseous solution is acidic or basic (alkaline). The test can be performed using litmus paper or an aqueous solution containing litmus dye. Initially, litmus paper is either red or blue. The blue paper changes color to red, indicating acidity somewhere between the pH range of 4.5 to 8.3 (however, note 8.3 is alkaline).
