Litmus is a natural pH indicator derived from lichens, widely recognized for its ability to change color in response to acidity or alkalinity. This compound is primarily used in laboratories and educational settings to determine the pH level of various solutions, making it an essential tool for chemists and researchers. With its vibrant color transitions—from red in acidic solutions to blue in alkaline environments—litmus provides a simple yet effective visual cue for pH measurement.
