An acid is below 7 on the pH scale and bases are above 7 on the pH scale.

An acid can be a hydrogen donor, and a base is a hydrogen acceptor.

What is the method which can be used to differentiate sulphuric acid and ethanoic acid?

One method to differentiate between sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and ethanoic acid (CH3COOH) is by using litmus paper. Sulphuric acid is a strong acid and will turn blue litmus paper red, while ethanoic acid is a weak acid and will also turn blue litmus paper red, but the color change may be less intense. Additionally, the two acids have different chemical formulas and properties.


What is the differentiate between acids and bases?

Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) in water and have a pH less than 7. Bases release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water and have a pH greater than 7. Acids taste sour, react with metals to produce hydrogen gas, and turn blue litmus paper red. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, and turn red litmus paper blue.
