The solution turns blue litmus to red.

Explanation:

Sulphuric acid or H2SO4 is known as a strong acid. The solution of H2SO4 or sulfuric acid is acidic in nature (pH<7) and water is neutral (pH = 7) in nature.

When H2SO4 is added to a large beaker of water the solution turns phenolphthalein pink, it means that it is basic in nature. The sulphuric acid has fewer hydroxide ions (OH⁻) and more hydrogen ions (H⁺) of water.
