It's not possible to determine whether an acid or base is either strong or weak. The only way is to see it's concentration. To determine whether the liquid is an acid or base is easy.
An acid's chemical formula always has Hydrogen ions. Example HNO3 or HCl. Bases always have OH or Hydroxide. Example NaOH2.
