What way can we determine whether an unknown solution is an acid or base?

Some form of litmus paper or hydrion paper can be used. If unavailable, try a pH kit commonly found at a pool supply store. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE SOLUTION BEFORE OR DURING THIS TEST!!

∙ 7y agoMany methods exist: the simplest is to use of pH paper, Also is possible to evaluate pH with natural products (see this link).
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoTry pH indicator: Lithmus paper is turned red by dilute acid solution and basic solutions will turn its color (puplish) blue.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoYou know if something is an acid or a base because of the change of the litmus. if the litmus is blue and changes to red is an acid, but if a litmus is red and changes to blue it is a base.

∙ 15y agoBut to name a few, Litmus paper, Universal indicator, Electrode.

∙ 14y agoUse litmus paper (red or blue), litmus pellets, litmus or a universal indicator

What is hypothesis of a acid base titration?
to determine the concentration of the unknown solution and to determine the molar concentration of acetic acid in a sample of vinegar by titrating it with a standard solution of NaOH.
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.
How could you determine whether a white powder was zinc sulfide or silver nitrate using hydrochloric acid solution?
To determine what the white substance is we must add it to HCl.
You are given an unknown solution and asked to determine if it is an acid or base You test the solution with a piece of litmus paper You notice the litmus paper turns blue in color This tells you t?
The solution is a base. ( If it turned red, then the solution would be classified as an acid.)
Is titration acid or base?
titration is a method by which a solution of known concentration is used to determine the unknown concentration of a second solution. Titration methods are based on reactions that are completed quickly such as the mixing of an acid and base.
Mandy is testing an unknown solution to determine whether it is an acid or a base She places a piece of red litmus paper into the solution and the paper turns blue?
it is base
What determine the properties of a solution?
Whether or not it's an acid or a base

What is titrate?
Titrate is a process used in chemistry to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution. It involves slowly adding a solution of known concentration (titrant) to another solution until a reaction is complete, allowing the concentration of the unknown substance to be calculated.

How do you determine the pka value of naphthalene?
The pKa value of naphthalene can be determined through experimental methods such as potentiometric titration or using computational chemistry techniques to predict the acidity of the compound based on its molecular structure. Naphthalene is a weak acid with a pKa estimated to be around 10.4, but it is generally considered non-ionizable under typical conditions.
Can you use the solution electric current to determine if it is an ancid or base?
In order to determine whether it is an acid or base you will first have to check the measurements of hydronium. This can found in the pH concentration.
When would litmus paper be useful?
It helps in indicating whether a substance is acidic or basic A red litmus paper turns blue in basic solution and turns red in acidic solution A blue litmus paper turns red in acidic solution and turns darker blue in basic solution
What a properties of solution?
Whether or not it's an acid or a base
