Is litmus used to differentiate two acids?
Litmus paper is not specific enough to differentiate between two acids. It simply indicates whether a substance is acidic or basic based on a color change. To differentiate between two acids, more specific tests such as titrations or pH measurements would be required.
Is washing powder an acid or a base?
Yes, it is. You can tell weather something is an Alkali, Neutral pr acid via the pH scale or, you can tell if something is an alkali from its consistency; if it is sludgy (like washing-up liquid), it is an alkali. So, I am under the influence that washing-up POWDER is too, an alkali.J.S.P. Aged 11
How can you tell if it is an alkali?
by adding hydrochloric acid to the substance, and if it turns red its a strong acid, if it turns blue its a strong alkali. if its a colour in between like greeny blue or reddy orange, it means it not as strong. Green is neutral XD
Why do you use litmus paper to tell the difference between acid and base?
You use litmus paper to tell the difference between acid and base because it is convenient. It is easy to transport and store, it is easy to use and it is easy to the the result, which is a clear change in color.
What shows whether something is an alkali or acid?
You can use indicators (liquid or paper). Universal Indicators (UI) are the best, as with them you can tell if something is acid, neutral or alkali, depending on the colour (there will be a colour indicator). However, you can also use red and blue indicator, but they are less accurate, as although they might be acid (or alkali), they might be neutral as well, so I suggest you use UI. Hope this helps :) Source: Science lessons!
How do you tell the difference between an acid and an alkali using bicarbonate soda?
Only an acid releases carbon dioxide (gas bubbles) from bicarbonate.
How can you tell the difference between acid and an akali?
add phenolphathalein to both.it will be colourless in dilute acids and pink in dilute alkali
How can you tell if a colourless liquid is an acid or an alkali?
For an acid, the solution remains colourless or unchanged. For an alkali, it would turn fuschia.
How do you tell the strength of an acid or alkali?
you get a scale like this

How do you tell the difference between water and acetic acid?
Water has the chemical formula H2O. Acetic acid has the formula CH3COOH.
What can tell us whether something is an acid or alkali in 10 letters?
Test the pH.

What is the name given to a dye or mixture of dyes that tell us if something is acid or alkali?
An indicator, for example Litmus.
How can you tell if its an acid?
Add an alkali substance to it, such as chalk, if it is an acid it will "fizz" and release carbon dioxide. You could also test with Litmus Paper or Universal indicator.
The difference between a weak and a strong acid involves the acid's ability to?
Depends On their PH Level. A PH Scale will tell you the strength of an acid- OR base. The strength depends on how much it canw wear materials and how diluted it is.
How can you tell if it is an alkali?
by adding hydrochloric acid to the substance, and if it turns red its a strong acid, if it turns blue its a strong alkali. if its a colour in between like greeny blue or reddy orange, it means it not as strong. Green is neutral XD
