The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with lower values indicating acidity and higher values indicating alkalinity. A pH of 4 is considered acidic.

When using a paper test strip, such as litmus paper, acidic solutions typically result in a color change towards red. Therefore, if you dip a paper test strip in a sample of orange juice, which has a pH of 4, you would expect the paper test strip to turn red.
