for weak acids e.g lemon juice you would use PH strips dip it in the acid then the strip will change to a certain colour, you then hold this up against a colour chart for the best match. However if your talking about stronger acids I believe you pass an electrical current through it a low PH which equates to it being acidic would give a positive conductivity a high PH which equates to it being alkaline would give a negative conductivity.

What dissolves granite?
Any acid is capacble of dissolving granite, though the rate of which it is dissolved depends upon the "strength" of the acid. The "strength" of an acid can be measured commnly by pH. So an acid with a pH of 6 will take a long time to disolve the granite, whereas an acid with a pH of 1 will take a much shorter time.
What are the units used to measure acids and bases?
The concentration of an acid or base in solution is measured in moles per litre. The strength of an acid or base in solution is measured on the pH scale. This is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. It's a pure number, there are no units.
Why is the concentration of an acid different from the strength of an acid?

How can the strength of metallic bonding be measured?
The amount of heat energy required to vaporize a metal is a measure of the strength of metallic bonding.
Why are some acids not dangerous?
Some acids are not dangerous because they aren't strong acids. The strength of an acid/base is measured on the pH scale. The closer to 7 the weaker. Under 7, is an acid and above 7 is a base. If something has a pH of 1 then it is a dangerous acid, while acid with a pH of 6.5 are not dangerous for example.
What is a good pun for the word mole?
What do a mouth, and a very strong acid have in common? 12 Molar. A mouth has 12 molars, and acid strength is measured in molarity.

Muscular strength and endurance is measured by?
Muscular strength and endurance is measured by how much a person can do physically. Endurance can be measured by exercise such as running.
Is acid solution negative or positive?
Whether something is acid or base the strength of that solution is measured by the pH scale. 0 (zero) is the most acid and 14 is the most base. distilled water measures 7 and is completely neutral. Ammonia is an example of a base and is usually measured at a pH of 11.6. So the answer to your question is that an acid has a positive pH. There is no such thing as a negative pH.

How is the strength of an ocean wave measured?
HellO!
What is magnetic field strength measured in?
Gauss
How is earthqake strength measured?
The strength of earthquakes are measured by the Richter Scale. It is a base 10, logarithmic scale that measures the amplitude of the waves caused by an earthquake.
The strength of an electromagnet is measured using the unit called?
I think it is measured in newtons
