Can you know from its name if an acid or base is strong or weak?
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.
How do you determine the partition coefficient of benzoic acid between benzene and water?
To determine the partition coefficient of Benzoic Acid between Benzene and water the solubility of benzoic acid is required. The partition can then be determined by calculation.
In ancient times what was the strongest acid known?
In ancient times the strongest acid known was vinegar.
How do you determine the pka value of naphthalene?
Use a method called titration, where a known concentration of either a strong acid (to measure a weak base) or a strong base (to measure a weak acid) is slowly added to a solution of the unknown compound. By measuring the pH of the solution as you do the titration, and by measuring the volume of the known solution that you added to the unknown, you can determine the pKa of the unknown compound.For complete instructions on how a titration is performed, see the Web Links to the left of this answer.how can i determine pka value if pH is given?
Is orange juice a acid or an alkali?
Methyl orange is also known as p-dimethylamino-azobenzenesulfonic ACID.As stated on wikipedia, hence I would have to say that it is in fact an acid, interestingly, it is an acid that tells us whether a substance is an acid or alkali, by changing colour.It is known as an INDICATOR.In:Acid=Red. Alkali=Yellow. Neutral=Orange, thus the name methyl orange.HAHA.There you go. A decent answer.Hope this helps.
How could you determine safely whether an unknown solution is an acid or base?
The simplest way would be to use litmus paper, depending on the color it changes - that indicates whether you're dealing with an acid or a base. Pink/red is an acid, Blue is a base.
What determine the properties of a solution?
Whether or not it's an acid or a base
How could you safely determine if a base is stronger than an acid?
There are a few safe ways to determine if a base is stronger than an acid. There are specialized tests that you can buy.
How do you dilute sulfuric acid safely?
Determine the concentration desired and then pour the needed amount of water into beaker. Add the the acid volume to this beaker full of water.
Does hydrochloric acid affect diamond?
No. There are other ways of analyzing a sample to determine whether or not it is diamond, which does not dissolve in hydrochloric acid.
What things could be used to determine whether a substance is an acid or a base?
litmus paper.

What method is used to determine a known concentration of acid solution by neutralizing it with a known concentration of a base?
Titration
How could you determine whether a white powder was zinc sulfide or silver nitrate using hydrochloric acid solution?
To determine what the white substance is we must add it to HCl.

What makes a base or an acid?
To determine whether a substance is an acid or a base, you look at it's pH. If it is over 7, it is a base. If it is below 7, it is an acid. If the pH is 7, the substance is neutral.
Can universal indicator be used to determine the strength of acids and bases?
No, it can only show whether the substance is an acid or a base.
