Explanation:
A solution with pH less than 7 will be acidic in nature and it will change color of blue litmus into red.
For example, HCl is a strong acid as it dissociates to give hydrogen ions and chlorine ions.
A solution with pH more than 7 will be basic in nature and it will change color of red litmus into blue.
A solution with pH equal to 7 will be neutral in nature and it will not change the color any litmus paper.
Thus, we can conclude that in a 0.01 M solution of HCl, litmus will be red.
