If you have an acid of unknown strength, you add Universal Indicator & add drops of a base. Count the drops of the base until the solution turns green (neutral) This should tell you how strong the acid is. This can also be done the other way (with a base of unknown strength & adding an acid) Does that make sense?
If you meant HCl, Hydrochloric Acid, it is a strong acid and not a base. A way to tell if it is an acid is that it has an H+ in the chemical formula. Most of the time, if it is a base it has an OH- attached to the chemical formula, but this is not necessarily true for all bases.
CH3OH is neither an acid or a base, nor is it a salt. It is an alcohol, and even though it ends in OH, it does not dissociate in water. You can tell an alcohol by the hydrocarbon group CH3, making it an organic compound.
Redox doesn't use indicators. It uses the natural colouration of the chemicals involved to determine the endpoint and titre. Acid-base titrations use a pH indicator, as otherwise there is often no way to tell the difference between an acidic solution and a basic one.
To determine if acid or carbonate was in excess initially, you can titrate the reaction mixture with an appropriate base of known concentration. The point where the base completely neutralizes the acid will indicate the amount of acid present initially. Any excess base after this point would suggest that the initial excess was in the carbonate.
Please tell me

You need to calculate the yield of the reaction.
- read the label- chemical analysis- pH measurement
you cant really tell if its strong like that. you need indicator liquid to tell you if its an acid or a base and then tell if its strong by seeing the reaction.
A chemical reaction will do the following; Change colour Create smoke A non chemical reaction (Physical Reaction) will do the following; Change State Be able to change back to the original materials
Chemical equations describe the products and reactants in a chemical reaction.
Nitric acid is the acid and magnesium hydroxide is the base. Therefore it is an acid-base reaction and the products are magnesium nitrate and water only.chemical equation for reaction complete with its states:2HNO3(aq) +Mg(OH)2(aq) -----> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
