At first: food seldom contains base, pH most (far) under 7 or 6,
There are equal amounts of water and acid.
Yes, that is Nitric acid. You can tell it is an acid because it contains a H+ ion that will dissociate in water.
Try one drop on lithmus paper: basic is blue, acid is red
That it contains hydrogen. If we're using the Arrhenius or Bronsted-Lowry definition of "acid", we already knew that from the word "acid", though.
A simplest method is to measure the pH.

At first: food seldom contains base, pH most (far) under 7 or 6,
If its acidity level is below 7, then it is a acid. If it is above a seven, then it is a base. If it is exactly 7 then it is neutral such as water.
There are equal amounts of water and acid.
You can tell if a fruit has acid in it if that fruit has a sour taste to it.Examples:LemonsGrapesLimesOrangesApples
