How could you lower the pH of the unknown liquid?

You should NEVER add acid (lowering pH) to an unknown liquid (or solid as well), it can be very dangerous. For example: suppose the unknown happens to be hypochlorite (bleach powder solution, desinfectant): when you add acid (any will do) then CHLORINE gas might escape which is a VERY TOXIC gas, causing acute pulmonary (o)edema.


What is the pH of sulphur and nitrogen?

Sulfur is not soluble in water and it depends on the form the phosphorous takes as to what it will do in water, or air, for that matter. Liquid nitrogen does not have pH. pH is based on the measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in solution - there are no hydrogen ions in liquid nitrogen.


How do you identify an aqueous solution as acidic basic or neutral based on its pH value?

The pH of a liquid is a measure of its acidity. If a liquid has a pH of less than 7 in is acidic. If it is more than 7 it is basic. If it has a pH of 7 it is neutral. pH can be measured with chemical indicatior or with a pH meter. In the "related links" below is an image from Wikipedia that shows the pH of some common substances.
