Is washing powder an acid or a base?
Yes, it is. You can tell weather something is an Alkali, Neutral pr acid via the pH scale or, you can tell if something is an alkali from its consistency; if it is sludgy (like washing-up liquid), it is an alkali. So, I am under the influence that washing-up POWDER is too, an alkali.J.S.P. Aged 11
Is lithium hydroxide a acid or a alkali?
Alkali. IF something contains hydroxide ions it is an alkali.
Do You need to have water present to see if something is an acid or an alkali.?
no
Is an alkali an acid?
No an alkali is the opposite of an acid. Alkali = basic; acid = acidic.
What shows whether something is an alkali or acid?
You can use indicators (liquid or paper). Universal Indicators (UI) are the best, as with them you can tell if something is acid, neutral or alkali, depending on the colour (there will be a colour indicator). However, you can also use red and blue indicator, but they are less accurate, as although they might be acid (or alkali), they might be neutral as well, so I suggest you use UI. Hope this helps :) Source: Science lessons!

What is the name given to a dye or mixture of dyes that tell us if something is acid or alkali?
An indicator, for example Litmus.
How can you tell if a colourless liquid is an acid or an alkali?
For an acid, the solution remains colourless or unchanged. For an alkali, it would turn fuschia.
How do you tell the strength of an acid or alkali?
you get a scale like this

Is litmus used to differentiate two acids?
Yes, litmus paper is used to tell the difference between acid and alkali - blue for alkali and red for acid
What is the missing word in this equation acid+alkali=something+water?
The Answer is Salt. Acid + Akali = Water + Salt
