You can use pH strips.
An acid will turn a blue strip red, and a base will turn a red strip blue. Then, there are strips that measure from 0-14. It changed color based on the strength of the acid or base. The most acidic material will measure out at 0 and turn the strip red, and neutral is yellow. Strong bases will be either blue or purple.

∙ 12y agoWe know how strong an acid is by its ionization in water .strong acids ionize completely in water while weak ones do not.Acidic strenght can be detected using an indicator or a PH scale. Litmus would turn blue completely in strong acid.

Andrea is performing an experiment in which she needs to know when a strong acid is present. She is not sure which indicator to use, so she looks up the following table in her science textbook.

What strong acid and strong base produce sodium sulfate?
Sodium hydroxide (strong base) and Sulphuric acid (strong acid)
What are some scenarios for a substance being classified as a weak acid?
A way to classify an acid as being weak is to determine how strongly the substance conducts electricity. If the acid or base conducts electricity strongly, it is a strong acid or base. If the acid or base conducts electricity weakly, it is a weak acid or base.
What is formed when strong acid combines with a strong base?
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
Is HCHO2 a strong acid or base?
It is a strong acid
Will the solution at the end point of an acidbase titration be acidic neutral or alkaline if it is a weak acid and strong base?
alkaline obviously! strong acid + strong base= neutral strong acid + weak base= acidic weak acid + strong base= alkaline
Can you know from its name if an acid or base is strong or weak?
It's not possible to determine whether an acid or base is either strong or weak. The only way is to see it's concentration. To determine whether the liquid is an acid or base is easy. An acid's chemical formula always has Hydrogen ions. Example HNO3 or HCl. Bases always have OH or Hydroxide. Example NaOH2.

alkaline obviously! strong acid + strong base= neutral strong acid + weak base= acidic weak acid + strong base= alkaline
Is Calcium perchlorate acid or base?
Neither, because it a salt of strong base(Calcium) and strong acid(Chloric acid)
Is KOH a strong acid or a strong base?
KOH is a strong base.
How do you determine if a conjugate acid or base will be strong or weak?
A weak acid/base will have a stronger conjugate base/acid. The conjugate acids/bases of strong bases/acids are very weak because they have no attraction to protons or hydroxides, which is why the reaction shifts all the way to the right and the Ka/b is large.
What is the counter base for a strong acid?
For countering a strong acid, a strong base like NaOH, LiOH are required.
Indicators used in acid base titration?
It depends on the acid or base used. For strong acid vs. strong base, phenolphthalein can be used as indicator. For strong acid vs. weak base, methyl orange can be used as indicator. For weak acid vs. strong base, phenolphthalein can be used as indicator.
