Is the distilled water acidic/basic/neutral? How would you verify it?
Distilled water is neutral in nature.
We can verify it by showing that neither blue nor red litmus paper changes its colour when dipped in it.
[Extra information:
Litmus is a natural indicator. A natural Indicator is a type of indicator that can be found naturally and can help us to know whether the material tested is an acidic substance or a basic substance. It is obtained from lichens. The process of obtaining a litmus solution needs the crushing and grinding of lichens.
Some examples of natural indicators other than litmus are: red cabbage, turmeric, turnip skin, curry powder, etc.
Use:
It is used to test materials for acidity and basicity. This solution can also be used to differentiate between acids and bases. When acid is added to a litmus solution, it changes to red. When a base is added, it changes to blue. Neutral litmus paper is purple in colour.
