How do you test an acid?
You can use blue litmus paper. It turns red when exposed to an acid.
How can you test for an acid and an alkali?
You would have to look at the nurk of the base and the whapple of the acid and i it is an xx and yy it would distinguish because then it dismanages it but otherwise if it is xy yx then it physicaly can't distinguish experimentally without tasting it.
Which litmus paper do you use to identify an acid and how does it react?
Online science class does not mean you can just google for answers. Read your textbook!
Why do you use litmus paper to tell the difference between acid and base?
You use litmus paper to tell the difference between acid and base because it is convenient. It is easy to transport and store, it is easy to use and it is easy to the the result, which is a clear change in color.

How can you test is a substance is an acid base or neutral?
You would have to use a special paper called litmus paper. It comes in red and blue. If a substance is a base, it will turn the red litmus paper blue. If it is an acid, it will turn the blue litmus paper red. You can also use red cabbage as an indicator, too. If you want to find the pH of a substance, use a wide-range indicator and a pH measurement.
Can litmus be use to differentiating between sulphuric acid and ethanoic acid?
Litmus paper can only distinguish acid from base, but you should be able to easily distinguish those two acids by their distinctive odors.
