Litmus solution added to acid
Litmus solution being added to an acid. Litmus is an indicator, a chemical that has a different colour depending on whether it is in an acidic or alkaline environment. In acids it is red. In alkalis it turns purple/blue. Litmus is derived from the lichen Lecanora tartarea. For litmus being added to an alkali, see image A500/483

Acid Acidic Acidity Demonstration Experiment Indicator Solution Colour Change Indication Laboratory Litmus
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Science Photo Library, we witness a fascinating chemical reaction as litmus solution is delicately added to an acid. Litmus, derived from the lichen Lecanora tartarea, acts as a remarkable indicator that changes color depending on its environment. As it encounters acids, the litmus solution transforms into a vibrant shade of red. This image captures the essence of experimentation and discovery within a laboratory setting. It serves as a powerful visual representation of how chemistry allows us to explore and understand the world around us. The addition of litmus solution provides an invaluable tool for scientists to determine acidity levels in various substances. The striking transformation witnessed here showcases the significance of indicators in scientific research. By observing this distinct change in color, researchers can accurately assess pH levels and identify whether they are dealing with an acidic or alkaline substance. As we delve into this mesmerizing photograph, let's appreciate the wonders of chemistry and its ability to unravel hidden secrets through simple yet profound experiments like these. Through images like this one from Science Photo Library, we gain insight into the intricate workings of our natural world while igniting curiosity about what lies beyond our current understanding.
