How could you titrate an acid and alkali without the use of an indicator?

If the acid or alkali forms an insoluble salt, you could titrate it that way. For
instance, suppose you had a solution of sulfuric acid of unknown concentration.
You could add calcium hydroxide until the precipitate stops forming and
determine the strength of the acid by the amount of base added. If both the acid and alkali are soluble, a pH meter can be used to measure the change in pH of the solution. Drawing the change of pH against volume titrated will thus give the endpoint of the reaction.

How could you test for an acid or alkali?
Litmus; universal indicator; reaction tests; spectroscopy.
Do you need to have water present to see if something is an acid or an alkali?
hi im just starting a level chemistry and i am not aware that you need water to find out if something is acid or alkali, you could use a indicator such as universal indicator or methyl orange and so on, or you could use indicator paper. If this helps good, if not sorry. Jack
Example of alkali in the house?
An example of alkali in the house could be a normal 9V battery or toothpaste.
What colour does universal indicator turn if you add vinegar?
Because oven cleaner contains Sodium Hydroxide (Na OH), a 'strong' alkali/base, to dissolve the grease, it would change Universal Indicator a deep blue/purple colour.
What is the name of the alkali in toothpaste?
Well it is sodium hydroxide that is found in toothpaste.This is the simplest answer you could ever find

What would you mix an alkali or acid with to get a coloured substaince?
You could mix an acid or alkali with an indicator such as methyl orange or phenolphthalein. Phenolphthalein is colorless in an acidic medium and pink in an alkaline one.
How can you tell if its an acid?
Add an alkali substance to it, such as chalk, if it is an acid it will "fizz" and release carbon dioxide. You could also test with Litmus Paper or Universal indicator.
What experiment can you do to prove neutralisation?
check the pH, there are many methods for this. simple pH paper or probes. Or you could titrate

How would you make a plant indicator?
You could make a plant indicator using ur forhead
What colour does universal indicator turn if you add vinegar?
Because oven cleaner contains Sodium Hydroxide (Na OH), a 'strong' alkali/base, to dissolve the grease, it would change Universal Indicator a deep blue/purple colour.
What is the solution called when a acid is added to alkali?
The solution could be neutral, acidic or basic depending on the concentration or the volume of the acid or alkali used.
How can we prepare 1M solution of NaCl?
You could titrate equal volumes of 1M solution of NaOH and 1M solution of HCl to obtain 1M solution of NaCl.
