Yasmin is testing an unknown solution to determine whether it is an acid or a base. She dips red litmus paper in the solution. It remains red. What can she conclude about the sample?

Red litmus paper turns blue in a base. Since it remains red, Yasmin can conclude that the sample is not a base. It could be acidic or neutral, so she cannot conclude from this test alone that it is an acid.
