You could Boil it in a pan? Boil salt water and there should be a line of white on the side of the pan when the water has completely evaporated.
You could taste it? The salt water should taste revolting like when you are swimming in the sea and a wave washes over you. On the other hand, sugar water should taste sweet or you should just taste the water.
however it is unsafe to tasting the liquid when in a Laboratory even if your supervisor HAS stated that the beakers have been cleaned, there is no telling what was in there before you were using them. it could have been an Corrosive Acid (A harmful Substance that burns through things like wood, metal and skin) like Hydrofluoric Acid for example. It would be safer to use the boiling method as long as you don't get the hot water on you.
Hope that helped you lots. x :)
What else can I help you with?
How could you determine safely whether an unknown solution is an acid or base?
One way to determine if an unknown solution is an acid or base is to use pH paper or a pH meter to measure the pH of the solution. An acidic solution will have a pH below 7, while a basic solution will have a pH above 7. Another method is to conduct a simple litmus paper test; red litmus paper turns blue in a basic solution, while blue litmus paper turns red in an acidic solution.
What is a synonym for the word solution?

What solid and liquid could be used to make a solution like nectar?
A solid that could be used to make a nectar-like solution is sugar, while a liquid could be water or fruit juice. These ingredients can be mixed to create a sweet and flavorful solution resembling nectar.
Which scientist first postulated the existence of ions?
Michael Faraday is credited with first postulating the existence of ions in 1834. He observed that chemical compounds decompose into electrically charged particles when dissolved in water and demonstrated that electric current could flow through a solution of ions.
How could you determine whether a white powder was zinc sulfide or silver nitrate using hydrochloric acid solution?
If the white powder is zinc sulfide, it would react with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen sulfide gas, which has a distinct odor of rotten eggs. On the other hand, if the white powder is silver nitrate, no reaction would occur with hydrochloric acid. Thus, by observing whether there is a smell of hydrogen sulfide gas, you can determine if the white powder is zinc sulfide or silver nitrate.
What are some steps you might take after a solution?
You could try substituting the solution into the original question and check whether it is valid.
What tests could you use to determine whether an unlabeled test tube contained an amino acid or a protein?
Biuret Test
How could a scientist use satellites to determine whether a rain forest was becoming smaller over time?
remote sensing i think yea.
Could you tell me whether honey is water or not?
Honey is about 82% sugars and 17% water (by weight) in the form of a supersaturated solution.
Would it be possible to identify metal ions in a solution if the solution contained more than one kind of metal ion in it?
i'm no chemist .. but u could maybe add some kind of alkali and see if u can identify the resulting salts ? ..
Is a beekeeper a scientist?
A beekeeper could be a scientist, but not necessarily.
What is the scientist name that finally settled the argument over whether or not life could arise from nonliving matter by creating the curved neck flask?
Louis Pasteur
How could you determine the solute concentration inside a living cell?
By testing whether it is hyper or hypotonic solution. Also, the water potential!!
Explain what a scientist should do if some data from an experiment confirms a hypothesis and some data does not Could the scientist ignore data that didnt fit the hypotheses Why or why not?
Well, they could but they shouldn't because they will do something wrong !!! And if it doesnt fit there hypothesis they need to try the experiment again until it fits there hypthesis !!! That would be my solution !!!
Is the fires anger could not be contained a metaphor or a simile?
"The fire's anger could not be contained" is neither a metaphor, nor a simile. It is an example of personification.
