In the absolute sense of the words "acid" and "base," no. Pure water is neither. However, you can also have "relative acids" and "relative bases," which are solutions capable of donating protons and accepting protons, respectively.
Any aqueous, or perhaps alcohol based liquids will have a pH associated with it, which could be neutral, acidic, or alkaline. Water itself isn't a particularly good buffer, so very slight perturbations in the pH are quite noticeable.
However, acids and bases can be thought of as the ability to donate or accept protons (Hydrogen ions).
So, most non-polar hydrocarbons would not fall under either acids or bases, and wouldn't be particularly good acids, bases, or solvents for (most) acids and bases. And hydrogens bonded to carbon are essentially non acidic. Likewise the liquids of many metals might not really refer to acids or bases. For example liquid Mercury... or for that matter, molten iron.
Now, there are some exceptions... for example the acetylene molecule (C2H2 or HCCH) could be considered a very weak acid, with its conjugate base in ionic form HCC- being one of the strongest bases.
base as we all know
Yes and no. HCN is a salt, but it is also a weak acid.
No.Since,sodium nitrite(NaNO2)is a salt of strong base and weak acid,in water solution it will leave more amount of [OH-] ions.Hence, solution will be basic.Therefore,NaNO2 is base not an acid.
Not all liquids react with baking soda. If there isn't any type of acid in the liquid, therefore, there is nothing for the acids in the baking soda to react with.
Base. Usually all hydroxides are bases.

yes, all salts are formed from an acid and a base. More specifically, all salts are made from a metal and a nonmetal.
all wax is a base (and all your base belong to us)
Water because it doesn't hove all the acid and sugars in it.

ammonia is a base, so it isn't an acid at all
I dare say that all fruit juices are acidic mixtures; lemon juice contains citric acid, which is an almost a strong, three-fold acid.
Since protons are always transferred in the Arrenhius concept, all Arrhenius acid/base reactions are also Bronsted-Lowry acid/base reactions.
