The litmus scale is gradual. As a base neutralizes an acid solution, the color on the litmus paper changes from shades of red to green, and then ultimately to blue. Measurements can range from 1 to 14, with strong acid solutions starting at pH 1 to strong basic solutions measuring pH 14.
If heat is absorbed, the reaction is called endothermic. Light is another form of energy that can be used to drive a chemical reaction. For example, plants need to produce carbohydrates to keep their trunks, leaves, and roots healthy. The water and carbon dioxide that plants take in from the soil and air react with the light energy from the Sun to produce carbohydrates, which is the process called photosynthesis. Reactions can also be caused by electricity. Metals are good conductors of electricity, making electricity a common factor in many reactions that involve metals.
