Which one of the following is neutral to litmus?
Correct answer: B. Ethanol
- A. Phenol
- B. Ethanol
- C. Carboxylic acid
- D. NaOH
Explanation
B. Ethanol is correct because it is neutral to litmus. Litmus is a natural dye that changes color in response to acidic or basic conditions. Ethanol is a neutral substance and does not significantly affect the pH, so it does not change the color of litmus.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
