The safest way to tell the difference between vinegar and sodium hydroxide(NaOH) is litmus paper test as vinegar is acidic while NaOH is basic in nature.

So vinegar will turn blue litmus paper to red and NaOH will turn red litmus paper to blue.

We can also check vinegar by tasting because it contains acetic acid which is a weak acid and would taste sour.

But sodium hydroxide is a very strong base and may cause severe burns if not handled with care. Do not attempt to taste NaOH as it will cause severe health problems.
