Sour taste usually indicated the presence of an acid, while the bitter means base, and there are various indicators to distinguish acids from bases.
Acids can be dangerous but some, such as citrus acid, we eat every day, it depends on how strong it is because some things that we might think are acids, are actually alkalis and visa vera so be careful to always read the label. Hope this has helped.
You can tell if a food contains an acid by tasting it. Acids typically give foods a sour or tangy flavor. Additionally, you can use pH test strips to measure the acidity level of a food.
Tasting an acid can be harmful to your health as it can cause damage to your mouth, throat, and digestive system. Acids can be corrosive and can lead to burns and irritation, so it's important to avoid tasting them. Instead, use litmus paper or pH test strips to determine acidity.
You can test the unknown crystalline substance by performing a taste test (table salt is salty), checking its solubility in water (table salt dissolves easily), and conducting a flame test (table salt will produce a yellow flame).
Acids typically have a pH below 7, taste sour, and turn blue litmus paper red. Bases typically have a pH above 7, taste bitter, and turn red litmus paper blue. Titration with an indicator or pH meter can also be used to determine the acidity or basicity of a substance.
One way to test sour substances without tasting them is to use litmus paper, which changes color in the presence of acids. To test bitter substances, you can use a taste receptor cell assay, which involves testing how the substance triggers specific receptors that respond to bitterness. Both methods are non-tasting ways to assess sour and bitter attributes.

You can tell when you drink or eat lemons, lemonade, grapefruit, apples, oranges, bananas and etc . it will taste sour or bitter. Sour means acid. Bases tend to be bitter - but tasting strong bases is very dangerous. Hopefully you will never try testing something like drain cleaner to find out.
if you open it and u see bubbles it means it has gas orrr u can shake it lol
test taste buds

Big disclaimer: we do not recommend the "taste test" for unknown chemicals. If you don't know exactly what it is or are not sure that it is non-toxic and non-corrosive, do not taste it.That out of the way... acids tend to taste sour; bases tend to taste bitter. Some common acids that you can eat (small quantities of) without killing yourself are vinegar (dilute acetic acid; do NOT try tasting concentrated/glacial acetic acid), vitamin C (ascorbic acid), citric acid, and carbonated/soda water (carbonic acid). Soda water tends to taste more salty than sour, because it's not pure carbonic acid; it contains a sodium salt, and salts tend to taste (surprise!) salty. (Again: do not taste random salts, because many of them are toxic. The one in soda water is sodium hydrogen carbonate, commonly known as baking soda, which is fairly innocuous.)

you can add a few drop of methy organe into the solution. if it is contain vinegar,the solution will change the colour to orange.
I remember when I was in elementary school, people in my class were going to take a PCT taste test, and I believe it was a strip placed on the tongue. If you were a PCT Taster, I believed you tasted a quite bad taste (I was reluctant to try to test). However, I do not know where exactly you would buy this, and I ask that if you are interested in buying a PCT Tasting kit that you be careful and make sure you are ordering from a reliable carrier, such as a children's science company. I remember talking about PCT tasting having to do with brussell sprouts... I could be wrong, but if you like brussell sprouts, this may mean that you aren't a PCT Taster. However, please do some research and get some second opinions on this!
never
I'm pretty sure the density of water and vodka aren't the same.. perhaps you should test that... remember: it's Mass/Volume!
