You can use litmus paper or bromothymol blue and phenol red strips.
Use them at the same time and if they turn blue that means the substance is a base. If the strips turn a red or pink color that means it is a acid. If the strips just look like they got wet that means they are neatral.
What else can I help you with?
Distinguish between dilute acid or base and concentrated acid or base?
Concentrated acid or base has a high amount of acid or base in a solution, usually at or near 100% concentration. Dilute acid or base has a low amount of acid or base in a solution, usually with a lower concentration. Dilute solutions are weaker and less corrosive, while concentrated solutions are stronger and more reactive.
How would you distinguish between an acid and a base?
You would have to look at the nurk of the base and the whapple of the acid and i it is an xx and yy it would distinguish because then it dismanages it but otherwise if it is xy yx then it physicaly can't distinguish experimentally without tasting it.
How do you distinguish benzoic acid with methylbenzoate?
Benzoic acid is a carboxylic acid that is typically solid at room temperature and has a characteristic acidic smell. Methyl benzoate is an ester that is usually a liquid at room temperature and has a sweet, fruity odor. A chemical test like adding a base to benzoic acid to form a salt or reacting methyl benzoate with an alcohol to get back the carboxylic acid can help distinguish between the two.
What best describes a bronsted lowry acid base reaction?
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
Is acetamide acid or base?
Acetamide is a weak base. It can undergo protonation to form the conjugate acid, acetic acid, in acidic solutions.
How does an indicator helps you distinguish between an acid and a base?
it has (red acid) and a (blue base)
Who is Hannah dear?
distinguish between common acid base indicator and universal indicator

How can you safely determine the difference between an acid or a base?
The DIFFERENCE ?! I think you mean distinguish an acid from a base, which needs an indicator, like red cabbage solution(turns yellowish with acid, darker with base) Phenolphtaline(Turns violet with a base) Red/Blue litmus paper(RLP turns blue with a base, and BLP turns red with an acid) and finally a pH meter/paper.
How can I distinguish between bases and acids by methods other than using litmus paper?
there are other indicators that can be used - universal Acid-red Base-Blue Neutral-green methyl orange Acid - red Base - yellow

Is Nitrous an acid or base?
Nitrogen is neither. Nitrogen gas is simply N2, which has no hydrogen or hydroxide ions, which distinguish acids and bases. Nitrogen can be a part of a base or acid. For instance, nitric acid is HNO3, which obviously contains nitrogen.
What best describes a bronsted lowry acid base reaction?
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
How do you distinguish an acid from an alkali?
an acid donates the h plus ion and alkali does the opposite
Is acetamide acid or base?
Acetamide is a weak base. It can undergo protonation to form the conjugate acid, acetic acid, in acidic solutions.
Which of the following best describes a bronsted lowry acid base reaction?
A Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction involves the transfer of a proton (H+) from the acid to the base. The acid donates a proton, while the base accepts a proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base.
