Put some copper(ii) sulphate crystals in the liquid and if they turn blue from white then the liquid is water. Also if you put some anhydrous cobalt chloride and the water turns pink from blue then the liquid is water.

the only liquid is water all other are aquious solutions and to find out wich you write a balanced equations

The above answer is NOT True. Liquid is just one state of matter. All Elements can be in a LIQUID State at the appropriate TEMPERATURE. For example Mercury is a METAL that is a Liquid at room temperatures. Chemical Compounds can also be Liquids at appropriate temperatures.

Matter can have 4 states:

1. Solid

2. Liquid

3. Gas

4. Plasma

Knowing the boiling temperature of water at normal conditions : 1000C

Take a sample of your liquid, but it in a beaker with volume marks, note the volume.

Take a big cooker of water, boil it, put your beaker of sample inside.

- If the volume doesn't change => your sample consists water or water with other liquid with higher boiling temperature or no water.

- If the volume decreases

+ if decrease to a definite volume and stop decreasing: now you have only water, the other liquid has lower boiling temperature.

+ if decrease to volume zero: you don't have water in your sample.

Those're some simple situations.

You look up its melting point and its boiling point, and if its mp is below room temp and bp is above room temp it should be liquid

What do boiling point and melting point have to do with the phase of matter of an element at room temperature?

The state of matter of a substance at room temperature depends on whether the melting and boiling points are above or below room temperature. At room temperature:A substance is solid if both the melting and boiling points are above room temperature.A substance is liquid if the melting point is below room temperature but the boiling point is above room temperature.A substance is a gas if both the melting point and boiling point are below room temperature.
