The salt whose aqueous solution will turn blue litmus to red is:
ammonium sulphate
sodium acetate
sodium chloride
potassium carbonate

Academic Chemistry NCERT Class 10

Correct Answer: (a) Ammonium sulphate

Explanation: Litmus turns blue to red in acidic conditions, as the aqueous solution of ammonium sulphate produces H₂SO₄ acid (strong acid). Therefore, the solution becomes acidic in nature.
