Litmus solution added to alkali
Litmus solution being added to an alkali. Litmus is an indicator, a chemical that has a different colour depending on whether it is in an acidic or alkaline environment. In alkalis it is purple/blue. In acids it turns red. Litmus is derived from the lichen Lecanora tartarea. For litmus being added to an acid, see image A500/482

Acidity Alkali Alkaline Demonstration Experiment Indicator Purple Solution Colour Change Indication Laboratory Litmus
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a fascinating scientific experiment taking place in a laboratory. The image showcases the addition of litmus solution to an alkali, providing us with a visual representation of the chemical's remarkable properties as an indicator. Derived from the lichen Lecanora tartarea, litmus is renowned for its ability to change color depending on whether it is exposed to an acidic or alkaline environment. As the droplets of vibrant purple/blue litmus solution gracefully merge with the alkali, we are reminded of the intricate nature of chemistry and its profound impact on our understanding of various substances. This demonstration serves as a vivid reminder that even seemingly ordinary liquids can possess extraordinary qualities when subjected to scientific scrutiny. The photograph not only captures this mesmerizing moment but also symbolizes the power of observation and experimentation in unraveling complex phenomena. With each hue change observed through litmus testing, scientists gain valuable insights into pH levels and acidity within different solutions. This image stands as a testament to both curiosity and discovery - key elements driving advancements in countless fields. It invites us all to marvel at how something as simple as adding litmus solution can unlock hidden secrets about our world's chemical composition.
