Vankarbhaibhas explained the definition of an acid and a base, given by Robert Boyle in the classroom. Then the students of the classroom gave some suggestions regarding acid and base. Which suggestion is wrong among these?

Prashant: Acids are sour in taste and bases are bitter.

Dhruvi: Acid does not give any effect on wet blue litmus paper while base turns blue litmus paper blue.

Seil: Acid liberates dry hydrogen gas (H2) by the reaction with the metal. The base does not react with all metals.

Jaydeep: By neutralisation reaction between acid and base, salt and water is produced.

There is no change in the colour of red litmus and blue litmus paper when introduced into an aqueous solution of sodium chloride. After passing direct current through the same solution, red litmus changes to blue colour. Which product is responsible for this change ? Mention any two uses of this product.
 
MEDIUM
Sulphur powder is heated on a spatula. A piece of both, moist blue and red litmus papers are brought one by one near the gas evolved during heating. The action of gas on the moist litmus papers will be:
EASY

Pratyush took sulphur powder on a spatula and heated it. He collected the evolved by inverting a test tube over it. What will be the action of gas on the following?

Dry litmus paper.

MEDIUM

You are provided with aqueous solutions of three salts A, B and C23 drops of blue litmus solution, red litmus solution and phenolphthalein were added to each of these solutions in separate experiments. The change in colour of different indicators were recorded in the following table:

Sample  With blue litmus solution   With red litmus solution    With phenolphthelein
     A            No change            Turns blue          Turns pink
     B            No change            No change          No change
    C            Turns red            No change          No change
