The simplest way is to use litmus paper.
The mixture must be a liquid so that the mixture can react with the water and so dissociate into either hydronium or hydroxide ions. If it's a solid, try dissolving it in water. If you have a gas, use damp litmus paper.
Red litmus paper is used to test for basic substances, and turns blue in a positive test.
Blue litmus paper is used to test for acidic substances, and turns red in a positive test.

Would an experiment with tomato juice with a pH balance of 4 and soap with a pH of 10 be acidic or basic and why?
The pH of the resultant mixture will depend on the concentration and the volume of the tomato juice (acidic part) or soap (basic part) used. If soap is more, the resultant solution will be basic. If tomato juice is more, then the resultant solution will be acidic.

What is used to find out weather the substance is acidic or basic?
A pH test will tell you if it is acidic or basic. A pH test checks for the amount of H+ (hydromium) ions in solution. Higher amount of H+ ions means acidic, and higher amount of OH- means more basic.
