hi im just starting a level chemistry and i am not aware that you need water to find out if something is acid or alkali, you could use a indicator such as universal indicator or methyl orange and so on, or you could use indicator paper.
If this helps good, if not sorry.

A salt solution is usually neutral, meaning it is neither an acid nor an alkali. The pH of the solution will depend on the specific salt present and its reaction with water.
H2O (water) is neutral, neither an acid nor an alkali.
And acid plus an alkali produces water and a salt.
Alkali. IF something contains hydroxide ions it is an alkali.
no
no you do not always need water to see whether something is acid or alkali
The Answer is Salt. Acid + Akali = Water + Salt

When an acid reacts with an alkali, the two products formed are salt and water. This reaction is called neutralization, where the acid donates a proton (H+) to the alkali to form water, and the remaining ions from the acid and alkali combine to form a salt.

no
Water is neutral.
Hydrogen oxide is neither an acid nor an alkali. It is water, which is a neutral substance.
Water is neither acid or alkali it is neutral
No gas is produced in the reaction of an acid and an alkali. In a neutralisation reaction, acid + alkali -> salt + water
