Does a solution of carbon dioxide make litmus paper be red ?

Question

I know that sentence is wrong about grammar
( I am bad at E, so please correct it ^.^ )

Answer 1

"Does a solution of carbon dioxide in water turn litmus paper red?"

Yes, due to the formation of small amounts of carbonic acid. You can now look this up.

Answer 2

It is acidic so the litmus will turn red.
See this excerpt from http://www.chemcool.com/regents/acidsbasessalts/aim5.htm
The fizz in Fizzies is caused by bubbles of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas that are released when the tablet is dropped into water. Careful observation reveals that these bubbles rise to the surface because CO2 gas is much less dense than water. However, not all of the CO2 gas rises to the surface; some of it dissolves in the water. The dissolved CO2 can react with water to form carbonic acid, H2CO3 .

H2O( l) + CO2 (aq) <-->H2CO3 (aq)

The pH of the Fizzies drink registers between 5 and 6, showing that the resulting solution is clearly acidic. Carbonic acid is found in other carbonated beverages as well. One of the ingredients on any soft drink label is carbonated water, which is another name for carbonic acid.

Answer 3

It will. Now go find out the reason why.
