The aqueous solution of one of the following salt will turn red litmus to blue. This salt is:(a) Potassium sulphate
(b) Sodium sulphate
(c) Sodium chloride
(d) Potassium carbonate

Academic Chemistry NCERT Class 10

Correct answer: (d) Potassium carbonate

Explanation: The aqueous solution of potassium carbonate produces KOH (strong base). therefore, the solution turns basic and changes the red litmus to blue.
