When you combine an acid and base they will neutralise so that there is only either an acid or a base left (which is left depends on the properties of them).

What is best way to neutralize an acid?
Add it to a base!
How can an acid turn to base?
An acid can turn into a base if you mix a much stronger base with it! That way the base acid overpowers the acid and makes the acid a base!
Why is the base added to the acid and not the other way round?
This is because the base can neutralize the acid faster than a base
How can you test for a strong acid?
the best way would be 2 use litmus paper. use the color coding on the box but usually blue is for base and red is for acid.
What are some scenarios for a substance being classified as a weak acid?
A way to classify an acid as being weak is to determine how strongly the substance conducts electricity. If the acid or base conducts electricity strongly, it is a strong acid or base. If the acid or base conducts electricity weakly, it is a weak acid or base.

What happens when hydrochloric acid and water are together?
The simplest way to answer this is to say that water can act as an acid or a base - giving up a proton (H+) or taking one. When put with an acid, it acts as a base and therefore accepts the proton from the acid. acid + base <---> acid + base HCl + H2O <---> Cl- + H3O+
Why is uric acid called a acid?
Because it is an acid. A way to test if a material is an acid or a base is to test it with litmus if the litmus turns red then it is acid if it turn blue it is a base or alkaline. uric acid turn litmus red. making it an acid.
What is the best way to separate stamps from their envelopes for a beginner?
A beginner can use the soaking method as the best way to separate their envelopes and stamps.
Is the formula HCI a base?
If you meant HCl, Hydrochloric Acid, it is a strong acid and not a base. A way to tell if it is an acid is that it has an H+ in the chemical formula. Most of the time, if it is a base it has an OH- attached to the chemical formula, but this is not necessarily true for all bases.
How could you determine safely whether an unknown solution is an acid or base?
The simplest way would be to use litmus paper, depending on the color it changes - that indicates whether you're dealing with an acid or a base. Pink/red is an acid, Blue is a base.
