The correct answer is option C. The outcome of putting litmus paper into bleach would be that red paper turns blue, blue paper does not change. Domestic bleach is a strong base it typically has a pH of 11 to 13. So when testing for pH, it would really go with the basic characteristics.

Answer:

The correct option is c

Explanation:

The major ingredient in household bleach is sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). This compound is a base and the bleach solution assumes this alkalinity status.

A base is a substance that produces hydroxyl/hydroxide ion (OH⁻) as the only negative ion when dissolved in water. The pH of a base is between 7 to 14. One of the major properties of base is that it turns red litmus paper blue and it has no effect on blue litmus paper.
