y will the litmus paper turn red

[dhwanitchem]

when chlorine first reacts with water it forms HCl and HClO which are acids which turn blue litmus red later the chlorine bleaches the litmus paper

@dhwanitchem why does the litmus paper turn bleached after turning red?

[dhwanitchem]

@TheLittlemissghostly Chlorine gas is a strong Bleaching Agent and thats why the litmus dye like the other dyes gets bleached.

@mrscaryspider *muriatic* acid is simply another name for hydrochloric acid, so, no wonder it has the same propeties. In fact, all acids do (to a certain extent), as these properties are all due to presence of hydroxonium ions in solution.

meratic acid is cheap and it is more powerful then hydrochloric acid plus it has the same proprietarys
